Teenage Enema Nurse
If the government fails to check the exodus of Filipino physicians and nurses abroad, the Philippines is sure to face a severe medical crisis in five years’ time, Vice President Teofisto Guingona Jr. warned on Tuesday.Guingona said a British study done earlier this year foresees a medical crisis in the Philippines by the year 2008. This crisis, he explained, will be brought about by the lack of competent medical practitioners to treat ailing Filipinos.
He emphasized that although medical schools in the Philippines continue to produce medical practitioners, a major discrepancy still exists between those graduating from medical courses and those who are leaving for employment abroad.
He disclosed that of the 250,000 Filipinos applying for passports every day, the majority are nurses and doctors seeking employment oversees.
I heard about 5,000 nurses leave every month. Sino nang tutuli sa magiging anak ko?

at meron ding shortage sa US, so obviously the pinoys would all come here. paano na naman ang pinas??? :(
This has been something I have been meaning to write about but have failed to so far.
The problem of Philippine Teachers being poached by the States and Canada is also a future debt that will be paid in full by Philippine society.
I'm out.....
The Philippines will more likely retain its assets (doctors and nurses) if the government will resolve the salary discrepancy. Nevertheless, no good fruit will be produced by a rotten tree. The citizens need to put the right people for the position. Here in the U.S., we work like a beast but the wage compensates. In the Philippines, nurses also work hard but the wage is unthinkable. The only good side is that they are quite far from lawsuits.
