are the medical schools in the filipines so bad, that they need to retrain for a job, that they as doctors should be able to tell a nurse how to do in the first place?

It is easier than trying to pass medical boards in the US. Besides, a nurse in the US will make very good money compares to being a doctor in the Philippines.
Training to be a doctor is not a direct superset of training to be a nurse. The missing portion is made up quickly, however.

The medical schools in the Philippines are at par with top medical schools elsewhere. Some reasons for taking up nursing among Filipino doctors are the ff:
1. Nurses are in demand abroad more than doctors.
2. It's easier to apply abroad as a nurse rather than as a doctor since most countries regulate the influx of medical doctors so as to guard the niche of their own graduates. It's better to get nurses you can order around than doctors who would order your own people around, right?
3. For a bigger salary. The Government health care system in the Philippines is really bad that a public doctor gets paid really low.
4. It gives one the opportunity to bring their family over.

Nursing job is open in the US, so Filipino doctors retrains as nurse to be able to apply and get employed in the US. Schooling and job description for doctors differ from that of nurses in the Philippines, doctors retrain in order to satisfy the requirements for the job.

medical schools in the Philippines are fine, Filipino doctors just want to go to America where nurses are in high demand. and training to become a nurse is much more easier than trying to be a doctor in America. Doctors and Nurses have different curriculum, training and purpose that Medical Doctors would not fit and qualify to become nurses. that's about it, they want to live and work in America and earn extra bucks, or they might have become sissy and decided to become a nurse instead !

"that they as medical doctors ought to take care of to inform a nurse a thanks to do contained in the first position?" -whats up, once you have ever worked in a medical institution putting, you'll comprehend that there are an excellent style of issues that nurses achieve this a lot more suitable ideal than medical doctors. the days at the same time as nurses looked as a lot as medical doctors as gods are sooo over (properly, because the 80s that is been like this). We do our interest, they do theirs. turn off that ER episode, that crapp is misinforming. So why do medical doctors contained in the philippines pass back to the bookshelves to grow to be nurses? with the aid of very undeniable truth that Filipino medical doctors (properly, maximum of them) aren't any compensated sufficient for his or her artwork. They by no skill starve or something, that is in basic terms that the status of being a healthcare specialist contained in the Philippines is lengthy previous. Now, Philippine knowledgeable nurses on the different hand have more suitable ideal possibilities of attending to commute to the west and earn as a lot as 4-6 situations what a healthcare specialist in Manila can make. contained in the top, that is all about the Benjamins. i comprehend a Filipino physician who has been education for 2 many years (he's in basic terms about 50 now) in a significant medical institution in Las Pinas. He too hit the books and studied to grow to be a nurse... unthinkable contained in the US isn't it?

no, that's not the case... they train to be nurses because they want to become nurses and work abroad. you see, nurses get higher salaries abroad than local doctors here in the philippines.
