Answer 1

you know the answers, you said it life here is hard and being a nurse is one ot the best paid profession and   we have more sense of compassion for people who needs our love and attention specially sick people  and patience to deal on hard situation and long works..

And our nurses, Nursing schools amd Nursing training are one of the best in  medical world.

BTW im not a nurse..Im an accountant  

Answer 2

nope..coz i dont plan on becoming one too..coz i dont want someone's life to depend on me..

Answer 3

Actually, I have many Filipinos that work for me, and they are finance professionals.

Answer 4

Yes I am aware of this fact.  However, I don't see anything wrong about this, they are coming here to work legally after being educated and trained in their profession.  There is a such a high demand for nurses here and so few academic institutions that offer Nursing that the US is forced to hire foreign nurses.  It mus also be pointed out that Filipino nurses are willing to work harder and take on rather difficult and otherwise unsavory tasks that some locally trained nurses are unwilling to perform.

So, as long as there is a demand for nurses and the Philippines continue to train and provide well qualified, competent and professional nurses, then it'll continue to be so.

Answer 5

ur not the only 1... a family friend is planning 2 b a police and my aunt is a psychiatrists. but most filipinas does seem 2 bcome nurses... n im not planning 2 b 1!!!

Answer 6

"To be young and st***,"  most Filipino nurses have relatives to support or want better lives for themselves OR MAYBE, they're just caring and wonderful people...nothing wrong with that.  I just think that you haven't been really around much...and have not seen Filipino eentrepreneurs in NJ, NY, CA, Canada, Australia, and etc...You've only seen people around your environment.  Re your comment, "it's way better than green card or American ctznship," you have not been in the US long enough to make such judgement.  You have a tourist Visa, you say...i suggest for you to quickly evacuate the US and Barcelona, Spain should be so lucky to receive a narrow minded, spoiled brat that you are.  Have a good day!
