Aside from the lack of medical equipments in other countries, a new crisis in the medical world is now taking its place: diminishing number of nurses.

According to news reports, the population of the nurses has greatly decreased so far. Even though nurses are in demand all throughout the world (hospitals and care giving institutions), their number seems to diminish.

In the Philippines, nursing degree is what’s “in” today. A lot of people get nursing in college since they do dream of working in other countries where nurses are insufficient. However, this has a negative effect to the country. “Brain drain”, or the act of professionals leaving the country for a “greener pasture” abroad, is prevalent.
