Filipino nurse recruitment as a staffing strategy.
Challenging times require challenging strategies. The recruitment of nurses from the Philippines is a strategy that makes sense both ethically and economically when the processes are managed by well-capitalized vendors with experience and expertise in the area. A one-stop turnkey approach for a set fee is recommended. Filipino nurse recruitment addresses short-term and intermediate-term strategies that can offer support to hospitals and full-time employed nurses needing more help to do their work. This process benefits the patient who needs access to care, it benefits the employing organization as an economical method to fill vacant positions, it benefits the Filipino nurse who has an opportunity for a better quality of life than she would have access to in her homeland, the colleagues on the rest of the clinical team are benefited by having qualified staff to share the workload, and the home country of the Filipino nurse benefits when the expatriate nurses send money regularly that goes back into the general economy of the country.
