The migration pathways in which nurses engage are increasingly heterogeneous. In this article, I contrast three types of nurse migration pathway from three country pairs – Vietnam to Germany ‘triple win’ bi‐lateral migration (direct migration); India to Canada two‐step study‐work (multistage) pathway; and ‘bus stop’ multinational migration from the Philippines to Singapore and onwards to other sites. Each pathway is not exclusive to the country pair selected; rather, this occupational and pathway specific analysis permits a comparison of the structures and processes involved – the different kinds of hierarchies that underpin mobility; the migration and border‐control infrastructure that channels mobility; and the differential incorporation of multi‐nationally mobile lives and their gendered/racialized implications. The migration trajectories analysed in this article reveal how multinational and multistage migrations are produced (through state and non‐state intermediaries and policy structures), and how they are productive of new subjectivities and imaginaries (shaped by what is possible and desirable).

巴士站，三连胜和两个步骤：护士进出亚洲

护士参与的迁移途径越来越多样化。在本文中，我对比了从三个国家/地区对越南的三种护士移民途径：越南到德国的“三赢”双向移民（直接移民）；印度到加拿大的两步学习工作（多阶段）途径；以及从菲律宾向新加坡以及其他地点的“公交车站”跨国迁移。每种途径都不限于所选的国家对；相反，这种针对职业和途径的分析可以比较所涉及的结构和过程–支撑流动性的不同层次结构；引导流动性的迁移和边界控制基础设施；以及跨国流动生活的不同纳入及其性别/种族影响。
