Nursing Students Intensify in The Philippines

Why Nursing students in the Philippines do increases each year? What is in the degree that makes it stronger in the industry? BSN or Bachelor of Science in Nursing is a very popular course, students needed to finish four years in college to be professional in this field and requires taking an examination to get a license.

As I observed, due to the intensifying number of nurses, there are several who failed to practice their profession. I have many friends that graduated in BSN last year, but still unemployed, others forced to switch to other job to earn money for a living. Those were because hospitals have a huge number of applicants and few have vacancies.

With all the things that needed to be a professional nurse and despite having a hard time finding hospitals to practiced their profession, still their percentage increases in the Philippines, the reasons for these is the increasing of demands outside the country. Sadly, many use local hospitals as their training ground to achieve their goal in a foreign country. As they see better future working abroad.

Why Filipino nurses choose to work with other country than in the Philippines? The top answer is the salary or income. Second top answer would be the desire to migrate. Many look at this as the stepping-stone for them to transfer their respective families to the country where they thought life style is better than living in the Philippines.
