Global nursing shortages considered as a major issue occurred particularly in high income countries, which stimulates the government to offer opportunities from foreign nurses to migrate to their countries. Unfortunately, large nurses’ production is not always related to the high availability of job opportunities within countries. There are also wide gaps in terms of professional competencies among nurses whereas those with high skills concentrated in the urban healthcare settings. Such situation creates a supply-demand paradox that should be paid attention by government and professional nursing organizations. Enhancing nurses’ professional capacity is, therefore, an urgent agenda that should be prioritised in all countries worldwide. In responding to such a situation, the Indonesia National Nurses Association (INNA) of West Java Province plans to conduct a national symposium in conjunction with the celebration of the International Nurses Day 2023.
