The top nursing schools in the United States is now doubling their efforts to supply the demand for nurses in the 50 states of greater America. This decision came after it was found out in the past that the number of professional nurses was declining. In fact, in recent years the US government needs to hire nurses in Asia and other parts of the world to supply the increasing demand for nurses. The tempting offers for nurses in terms of salaries also become a headache for hospitals and other healthcare institutions as thousands of nurses from Asia and other parts of the world troop to US embassies to apply for vacant positions for nurses. Many public hospitals in the Philippines were emptied of nurses and had to conduct immediate hiring of new professional nurses.

In fact, it was also reported on national newspapers in the Philippines the plan to hire Indian nurses which were also turned down by local institutions for nurses which maybe badly affected by the plan. Although the plan did not materialize but the national government has not also stopped the increasing number of nurses from Philippines going out of the country every month.
