My wife is a Filipino RN working in the USA.
I can assure you the Filipino RNs are trained just as well, if not better than their American counterparts.
A 4 year bachelor degree in nursing is a requirement for RNs in the Philippines - not a 2 year degree like in the USA.
All of the Philippine nursing schools are taught in English and all the text books are in English.
Vaccinated?
The are generally very bright with a tendency to be too rigidly by the book but that’s like a lot of new nurses. Later when their medical “gut” matures, they are simply unbeatable. Because of their Christian Catholic backgrounds, they integrate into our country generally well. I love working with Filipino nurses... and doctors, too! I’ve never encountered any bad ones, at least, the ones who work in the ICU’s I’ve worked in.
Living in the Philippines must suck if its a step up to move to Detroit. They’ll move here and then wave their flag, cook ethnic food and switch to their language when they don’t want to be understood. Why not stay in the fabulous Philippines?
The mix of Asians and Detroit blacks will be funny tho.
I hope that the Filipino nurses coming over have a good advocate and are t taken advantage of. I hope they’re paid at the same rate.
