NURSES – The countries of the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates is in need to hire at least 100,000 registered Filipino nurses.
According to the article published by the Summit Express, the recruiters from the UK and the UAE have recently announced that they are hiring at least 100,000 registered Filipino nurses.
This action is an immediate response to the gradual increase in demand for health care workers in their respective countries.

Brexit is the UK’s used term as they have intended withdrawal from the European Union.
“Nurses in the Philippines have a general caring nature, provide a high level of empathy and compassion towards patients,” said Richards.
Once hired, a nurse in UK can possibly earn P110,000 monthly, a leave for 27 days, nurses can bring their families with them and have “access to free health care and education provided that they can show evidence that he or she can support the family.”
Applicants are required to take English language proficiency tests and practical examinations and has to adjust to British nursing culture.
