Nurses urged to consider ME, UK instead of US for work abroad Philippine newsrelease 4/17/09

Cebu City (17 April) -- New nurses are advised not to limit their job hunting abroad to the United States as opportunities for healthcare professionals are abundant in other countries like the Middle East and the United Kingdom.

Yolanda Arugay, a member of the Board of Nursing (BON) from the Professional Regulations Commission (PRC) gave this advice to the almost 40,000 new nurses who will take their oath as professionals.

The US is presently suffering from a retrogression which has affected the deployment of nurses wanting to work there, Arugay said.
