Filipino nurses all over the world.

First, I just want to say hi to all my colleagues in the nursing profession here in allnurses.

I hope you are all doing great!

I just want to ask my "Kababayan", What country do you think is the best place to work in for RNs? Are you satisfied with your current workplace?

I work in CA and I have nurses friends all over the world and some says that they are still aiming to fly in the United States.

Is there a great difference working here compared to other countries?

Share your thoughts.

The differences would be in living in a free, democratic society that we have here in the great US of A and comparing it to living in any one of the socialistic European countries or communist countries such as Venezuela. Do you want to earn a high wage, have employee protection and freedom? Or would you rather work yourself into a sweat for the majority of time each 24 hour period for a pittance? Why do you think Mexican's jump the fence and walk through the desert to get a job in America? This is the greatest country on the face of the Earth.

What a joke. America is far from a free country, especially if you are a gay person as they are not treated equally. Maybe you earn more money here, but you don't get the healthcare, and many States don't offer employee protection. The main reason that many Mexicans come here is because they share a huge border with the US, and there are so many poor people there in Mexico who need to make some money for their family.

I think the US offers a rich ground for exploring other specialties in nursing, i.e., not just bedside care, so one can shift focus from individualized nursing care to a global application - all depends on what you really want to do with your nursing education. I am in research, suits me well - functions, benefits, environment, etc. There are options for funding in furthering your education in the graduate level - subsidized, unsubsidized, and private...as usual, the US is the land of opportunity any which way you explore it.
