About Me

Please visit our blog at Filipino Nurses 2 USEvery year thousand of registered Filipino Nurses go abroad to work, and many to live there permanently. In the United States alone there are more than 13,000 Filipino Nurses already working. This figure will continue to grow as the demand for nurses in the US increases over the next few decades. This weblog provides information to Filipinos who wish to become nurses and move to the United States, as well as those who have made the move already.
