Not belittling at all, Flor, we need good nurses in the US, we have a drastic shortage. The nursing schools in the Philippines are good but the hospitals do not have the technical advantages that Qatar does. So Philippine nurses get a good education in their home country and good training in Qatar and then are able - if they choose - to go on to work in the West. Since RNs in the US make $40-60,000 USD a year, I think many of them find the opportunity attractive. Wouldn't you?
