Philippines nurses seem to be choosing contract positions with an aim toward moving abroad. ABS-CBN News reports that ACT-Teachers party-list Rep. France Castro questioned why there did not appear to be an increase in permanent (Plantilla) healthcare positions in the last year.
Rep.
Angelica Natasha Co speculated that healthcare workers opt for temporary or
contractual positions when they have plans to work abroad. Last year saw one of the greatest numbers of
Philippine nurses enter the US in many years, as the American nursing shortage
continues to get worse. As of 2021, about
300,000 Philippine nurses worked abroad.
