Dr. Shaffer discusses his decision to pursue nursing as a career at a time when the nursing profession was predominantly a woman’s profession, and his ongoing work as a prominent nurse leader. He also provides insight surrounding the similarities and differences in the workplace between male and female nurses, as well as diversity among foreign nurses, stating he believes at the soul of every nurse, nurses are more similar than they are different.

Dr. Shaffer is also a principle investigator for the International Labor Organization’s Decent Work Across Borders Initiative, focusing on comparative analyses of nursing education and migration issues involving Denmark, Finland, India, Norway and the Philippines.
