with multiple actions happening such as the westernization of Filipino medical training, which had to learn English to study, decrease in Filipino also has to deal with oppressive colonial control and the aftermath of ww2, although the economy stabilizing the wages of smaller towns have stayed the same. the nurse career had often paid less than janitors and messengers, with the westernized training a handful of Filipino nurses migrated to the united states. but only half stayed. earlier Filipino were often given more work for less pay, but multiple women's rights movements, women's independence movements and access to vias gave Filipino nurses the advantage. although the same amount of work and pay still outweighed the nurse careers in the Philippines. due to Ferdinand Marcos ruling the Philippines with an iron fist, in America 1/3 of all nurses and Filipino. So why are there so many? Due to the lack of nurses in America during ww2, the westernized teaching of Filipino nurses and the injustice and crude ruling of Ferdinand Marcos. Filipino nurses Migrated to America to have better careers and, the united states practically readied them to work in the united states.

Filipinos were taught American medical techniques. They built more than 10 nursing schools in less than a decade. They learned english while learning medical techniques. Hospitals needed more nurses so they brought over Filipino nurses. They were told they were going to have better opportunities but that wasn't true. Many hospitals didn't treat or pay them right. The government started to promote labor export. That is how many nurses have ended up around the world and specifically in the US.

The US colonized the Philippines by calling it “benevolent assimilation” which excused their acts of colonization. The US built many nursing schools in the Philippines. Many Filipinos learned western medical techniques in English in these school which basically taught them to be prepared to become nurses in the west. Many American women quit nursing after the war and since there was a large vacancy in nursing, the US began to recruit Filipino nurses to work. Wages were also low in the Philippines at the time which pushed nurses to find different opportunities.

When the Philippines became a US colony, the US added medical schools to the Philippines. Because of this, many Filipinos were taught American medical techniques and English, inadvertently preparing them to work in the United States. Even after the Philippines gained independence, America needed to find nurses to work in the US, as there was a lack of them after WWII ended. They began to recruit Filipino nurses, as they had already been trained in American medicine, and they could be used as cheap labor. The Philippines ' economy, despite becoming better, still didn't have good wages. That, along with the Philipino government promoting labor export, is why so many came to the US to find better jobs and were hired as nurses thanks to their experience. However, they still had low pay and bad conditions.

Tens of thousands of people graduate as nurses in the philippines. Filipinos were conquered by US troops, estimated 200,000 filipinos died.

Filipino nursing students learned Western medical practices from American teachers, and were forced to learn English. Nursing training system went on until Philippines gained independence in 1946. American hospitals started emptying out in WOrld War 2 - nearly 200,000 American women became nurses for American army and hospitals. When fighting was over, there was less support for nurses. Instead of encouraging pay, the United States looked beyond borders to recruit Filipino nurses (they had Americanized nursing training already.) Many left their homes at the time because wages were low for everyone - nurses in Philippines were paid less. US turned to Philippines again in 1960s - immigration had changed by that point, labor recruiters started targeting Filipino nurses with ads that offered bright futures in America. Filipino nurses started experiencing shortages in the US.

There are so many Filipino nurses because when the US took over the Philippines and made them a colony they learned a lot of practices from the Americans. BENEVOLENT ASSIMILATION.
They built 10 nursing schools and were taught western practices and only taught in English. In 1941 millions of people enlisted in teh army as well as nurses, in 1945 there was less support for nurses eading to a lot of nurses finding other jobs. Instead of looking for more American nurses they looked beyond their borders and looked into the Philippines because they already knew western practices, causing a nursing exchange program. Filipino nurses were payed a lot less in the Philippines and decided to look elsewhere, but in the US they weren't payed that much so a lot of them went back to the Philippines while some of them began building big successful communities. Ads promised Filipino people safe homes and a good job waiting in the US.

The reason there are so many filipino Americans as nurses is that the Americans built many nursing schools in the Philippins and made them learn english. When America became low on nurses, they got filipino nurses to immigrate and work in the US. Nurses in the Philippins also didn’t make that much money, but it wasn’t that much better in the US.

Summary: There are so many Filipino nurses in the US because they were being taught American techniques in the Philippines. When they had a shortage after World War II and the others had left the job, they had them travel to the US since they were the best fit for the jobs. They were being promised better living conditions than in the Philippines.
Notes: 20,000 nurses short right now.
Great amount graduating every year.
1898-Philippines became a US colony, more than 200,000 Filipinos died, justified with benevolent assimilation.
10 nursing schools in less than decade, American teachers and forced to learn in English, until 1946. 1941 thousands of nurses enlisted to treat soldiers, US cadet nurse corp which had a huge budget. 1945, less support for nurses, they quit, rise in vacancy, instead of improving conditions, they turned to Filipino nurses and 10,000 came. GDP stabilized. Nurses were paid less than janitors, they were used as inexpensive labor, more hours, more work. 1/4 nursing jobs were vacant, then turned to the Philippines again. Immigration policy changed, they could apply for visas. Ads targeted. Licensing requirements, discrimination, if they passed those requirements then they still had struggled with fitting in, getting good conditions. The economy fell into recession, unemployment skyrocketed, the government promoted labor export to counties all over the world. They were sending money back to the Philippines and became the largest exporter of nurses in the world. 1/3 of nurses are Filipino. "English-only" rules at the hospital. Now, still in the most dangerous and strenuous work, put on frontlines during covid and many had passed.

Why are there so many Filipino nurses to this day in the United States? The video shows that the United States took over education and institutions, as well as imposing a medical labour force along with which they brought over western medical practises. Filipino nursing students were taught these western medical practises and also had to learn in English. Years later, when American nurses who served soldiers in World War II retired and caused a shortage in nurses, the United States turned to these Filipino nursing school graduates--considering they already had Americanised nursing training--and brought them to the United States to fill the gaps left by retired American nurses. In one decade, more than 10,000 Filipino nurses came to the United States to work. This was also partially due to the low wages in the Philippines after World War II ended.

Additionally, what kept pushing nurses out of the Philippines in the 1970s was the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos, the president of the Philippines. Unemployment was increasing in the Philippines and the Filipino workers who were already abroad brought lots of money back home. Because of this, the Philippine government wanted to keep that money coming so they continued to export workers to different countries throughout the world (most often the United States). To this day, because the United States was a prominent recipient of labour exports, nearly 1/3 of all foreign-born nurses are Filipino.

# data[].attributes.body
When the US colonized the Philippines, they added medical schools, meaning Filipinos were taught American medical techniques. After World War II, many American nurses retired/quit. This led to a shortage of nurses in the US (American nursing gap), so the US looked to the Philippines for nurses to fill in the gap.

The U.S. justified the colonization of the Philippines that resulted in 200,000 dead filipinos by establishing acts. These were used to say the colonization was a good thing, and that it would bring upon lots of benefits. Years later the Philippines gained independence from the U.S. as a self-governed country, although they still had their ties with the U.S., which helped set foundations for the migrations of Filipino nurses. When the U.S. entered war, they were in desperate need of nurses, so desperate that they started targeting nurses outside of the country, nurses from the Philippines. Ads were set up, targeting filipino nurses, promising benefits in doing so, they lied. The U.S. was successful in recruiting many filipino nurses, underpaying them and overworking them. After the war nurses quit their jobs, leaving the U.S.'s nurse vacancy rise exponentially. This lead to the U.S. going after the filipino nurses again, this time approaching in a different way. Once again it worked and it established a constant recruiting of filipino nurses, resulting in so many filipino nurses here in the U.S till this day.

When the U.S. colonized Philippines way back, that sparked many nursing homes to arrive, and most FIlipinos were taught American medical techniques in the Philippines. When the U.S. eventually needed more nurses, Filipino nurses migrated to the U.S., almost 20,000 Filipino nurses every year, and the loop between Philippines medical support and United States medical support causes a lot of Filipino nursing migration between both places. The reason why there is so many Filipino nurses in the U.S. is because Filipinos were taught American medical techniques during colonization, and U.S. needed more nurses so Filipino nurses traveled to the U.S.

The US has so many Filipino nurses because when the US colonized the Philippines, the US started to build many nursing schools in the Philippines called the nursing system. After the war in 1945, the government support for nurses dropped, so many American nurses quit. America needed to look for more nurses, so they went to the Philippines recruit nurses from the Philippines. The Philippines went through a lot of unemployment, so the Philippine government would push them to the leave to find work because the would send money back home.

Because the United States had already colonised the Philippines, they used their westernized schools to recruit Filipino nurses to work in the US. In the Philippines, nurses were underpaid and mistreated. Encouraged by the US to move to their land in order for more opportunity, many Filipino nurses immigrated to the US to work as nurses (they were still underpaid and mistreated after they immigrated, though).
Labor agencies targeted Filipino nurses to move to the US, saying that they will help them chase happiness. They brought many nurses to the US.
Unemployment during the new dictatorship skyrocketed, and this gave other countries the opportunities to take advantage of this. Many other countries had Filipino citizens that sent home a lot of money, which the governments in both the foreign country and the Philippines benefitted from. So, in order to profit off of Filipino workers, they encouraged them to immigrate to other countries for work.
