Where I used to work, we were overrun with Filipino nurses

I knew a Filipino lady who was a pharmacist in the Philippines before immigrating to the U.S. When she got to the U.S. she took the test to be licensed to practice here, failed miserably. It wasn't a language issue, her English was excellent. She had to complete two years of schooling and pass two board exams before she could work here as a pharmacist. That told me the education requirements in the Philippines were not nearly as good as the U.S.
