Nursing schools in the Philippines currently are capable of graduating about 41,000 new nurses a year. These nurses are graduates of a 4-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) course that, like the American nursing curriculum, is generalist in nature. After graduation, Filipino nurses tend to divide into two main groups: those who do general bedside nursing, and those who focus and train in specialized areas like open-heart surgery, kidney transplants, trauma, pediatric care, and psychiatric care.
With new nurses entering the workforce every year, the local supply of nurses exceeds the local demand so many Filipino nurses travel abroad to work. 13,536 Filipino nurses were deployed last year to jobs overseas - principally to Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, and the Republic of Ireland. This statistic does not yet include nurses who travel to foreign countries, such as the USA or Canada, under an immigrant’s visa.
