    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Sociology
    • Migration Studies

    Background:

    • The Philippines is a major exporter of professional personnel, particularly nurses, to the United States.
    • While challenges exist, Filipino nurses' experiences in the U.S. are generally positive.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare socioeconomic backgrounds and perceived opportunities of Filipino nurses in the Philippines versus those who migrated to the U.S.
    • To assess the impact of long-term U.S. residency on nurses' perceptions of their home country.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of Filipino nurses, categorizing them into groups based on their duration of stay in the U.S. (short-term, long-term, or never migrated).
    • Utilized scales to measure "anchorage" and perceived relative opportunities in the Philippines.

    Main Results:

    • Little socioeconomic difference was found between nurses who stayed in the U.S. long-term and those who remained in the Philippines.
    • Nurses with extended stays in the U.S. reported lower scores on anchorage and perceived opportunities in their home country.

    Conclusions:

    • The growing supply of Filipino nurses suggests continued high migration rates, contingent on U.S. immigration policies.
    • Long-term U.S. residency may influence Filipino nurses' connection to and perception of opportunities in the Philippines.
