Over the years I have worked with many Nurses from the Philippines. Really, it is almost like indentured servitude. My old hospital had to provide housing for several of them who had multi year obligations. They actually made a trade for a house very close to the hospital and gave a young family a much nicer home which was a mile or 2 away. This way the Nurses could walk to work, no shuttle van required.
Most of those Nurses fulfilled their contracts years ago and moved on. The Philippines keeps churning them out though. Honestly, those Nurses were competent and usually very nice.
