It is no
secret that there are great opportunities waiting for qualified nurses out of
the country. First World countries such as United States of America (USA), Australia, United Kingdom (UK) and New Zealand want
to hire foreign nurses because of their aging population.
The high
demand is reflected with the amount of salary that is being offered to Filipino
nurses. A Filipino nurse in America earns Php 250,000 or more a month. For this reason, there is a notion that
nurses need to pay a big amount of placement fee.
It is
true to some extent because the Philippine government allows recruitment agencies to charge applicants with
placement and processing fees. However because of the high demand, there are
many employers and countries that are willing to shoulder the placement fee of
applicants.
Also an
applicant will only be asked to pay a fee if he or she has been interviewed by
the employer, been hired and already signed an employment contract. Nurses are reminded to demand an official receipt from the agency after paying the
placement fee because it is a proof that you have given money to the agency.

want to work abroad but can't afford to shell out huge amount of money or
simply don't want to, here are the latest overseas job openings for nurses at
