According to GMA News, out of 64,459 nursing school graduates who took the Filipino version of the R.N. test, only 27,765 passed it. Additional statistics state that only 1 out of every 10 Filipinos who enroll in nursing school actually graduate.Therefore, in The Philippines, the ratio of people trying to be nurses and actually succeeding is around 20 to 1.
Unfortunately, this is more a function of the fact that the nursing schools in the Philippines are utter shit, and not the intelligence and motivation of Filipinos, and also shouldn't reflect poorly on those Filipino nurses who are trained well enough and have studied hard enough to have passed their certification tests.
How much to nurses make there?
