Listen "Why Do Filipino Nurses Work Abroad?"

Episode Synopsis

Nurses in the Philippines often leave the country due to several factors, including a high nurse-to-patient ratio, low salary, and insufficient career advancement opportunities. The demanding nurse-to-patient ratio can lead to burnout and decreased job satisfaction. Low salaries make it financially challenging for nurses to sustain their livelihoods, and inadequate career advancement prospects discourage them from staying for long-term professional growth. As a result, many Filipino nurses seek better opportunities abroad where they hope to find improved working conditions and higher earning potential.
