Having 20+ years of experience in health care I'm of the opinion that nurses trained in certain countries,the Philippines included,aren't as well trained as those of other countries...US/Canada/Britain/Ireland,etc.The nurse shortage in the US seems to have eased but particularly where the need is greatest one can argue that skilled nurses should be paid more than they're getting.

True, but how scientific does a nurse have to be?
They generally operate under the direction of a doctor and only a few are allowed to act in advance of direction, and only after the doctor learns to trust them.
99% of nursing is the basics. Take temps, give shots, report status and assist as directed.
I guess I should say that's my completely ignorant opinion:)
