Can you still remember the times when everyone would go to a nursing school and dream of becoming a nurse overseas? For some time, it seemed like getting a nursing diploma is a golden ticket to a greener pasture. If you are a licensed nurse, you will have a good chance to find a better job abroad and provide for your family.<\/p>\n

However, all of a sudden, the trend suddenly waned just as quickly as it became popular. There are stricter immigration and more difficult application process that led to hundreds of thousands of Filipino nurses stuck in the country with no jobs.<\/p>\n

On the brighter side, more and more countries are looking for other professionals. Countries in the Middle East as well as the United States, are looking for skilled workers and land-based professionals and are offering generous salaries.<\/p>\n
