Summary: The most popular college degree in the Philippines today and over the past few years is nursing. More and more Filipino nurses are leaving the country and many more are lining up to try better opportunities abroad. According to the Department of Health,85 percent of the country's total number of licensed nurses is found in the hospitals of other countries (www.doh.gov.ph). Why is the Philippines a top supplier of nurses in the world? It is because the country produces skilled nursing graduates who can speak good English. Nursing export boom has also resulted in a boom in nursing education. Many substandard schools have been set up, and many of theses play on the dreams of those who aspire for a job abroad (www.globalvoiceonline.org). In his Philstar column, Max Soliven argues that hundreds of hospitals have closed due to this (export of resources outside the country). It has become a national tragedy (Soliven, 2006). Nursing education in fact has been retrofitted to meet the demands of the global market. Courses like transcutural studies are included in the curriculum and new, shortened designer courses are being offered for doctors and other professionals who want to take up nursing. Population demographies are reshaping the healthcare work force with respect to race, ethnicity, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, age handicap, disability, and related factors as national sensitivity to various forms of diversity grows. In these new curricula, the compassionate and care-giving values that are supposed to be inculcated among healthcare professionals are being overlooked; instead nursing is treated as primarily a passport to the good life.
