Why is it that nursing is an in demand work abroad?and what countries are nurses in demand at this time?

Answer 1

Population is aging worldwide. As a result, more people are needed to care for the elderly. This includes nurses.

Healthcare providers in many industrialized countries hire nurses from abroad. Even Germany, which is usually very restrictive on labor-based immigration, caved in when it came to nurses. Typically, though, you cannot start working as a nurse in a foreign country right away, because you need to pass the local certification exams. So foreign nurses are usually hired as nursing assistants until they pass certification exams, and then promoted to nurses.

Answer 2

There are nurses in demand worldwide - there is no one country with an oversupply of nurses.

the nursing profession is often not respected - it is comprised mostly of woman and they do stuff like empty bedpans - therefore, no respect.

Many very capable nurses end up emigrating to first world countries in order to achieve higher pay for their services - also, due to the universal demand, a nurse can emigrate to, say, the United States much easier than most non-nurses.

Oddly enough, the high demand and low wages of this profession makes it one of the most mobile in the world.

Answer 3

There is a shortage of qualified nurses almost world wide because the profession has turned into a paper reports rather than bedside with patients who need them.
