Nurse here. The training they get in the Philippines is NOT equivalent to the training we receive here in the US. Long ago my hospital BANNED hiring ANY foreign-trained nurses, you have to have US nursing training. I have worked with both types of Filipino nurses - those trained here in the US and those who were trained in the Philippines, and the differences are staggering, so much so I can now tell them apart with them telling me where they were educated.
ADD to that - MOST hospitals are HIGHLY profit-motivated and ultimately run more by administrative types rather than actual healthcare providers. I have personally witnessed SO many scenarios where administration pushes unsafe practices upon the staff which can and does lead to unsafe patient outcomes. Who do YOU think is more willing to obey an unsafe rule, an American citizen who can ultimately find another job elsewhere, or someone you can threaten and intimidate with threats of deportation? And yes, I have seen upper management first-hand threaten to deport nurses.
Was laid up in the hospital awhile back due to a pressure ulcer and was baffled at how the admins treats nurses. Working doubles due to short staffing, fighting ppe order requests and making the staff shortage worse by forcing nurses to take time off who WANT to work or firing them over a single bad report when a patient complained they weren't treated like royalty. Not to mention ya'll went from national heroes with a military flyover to public enemy #1 for working an entire year with the vaxx and deciding to continue doing so.
Too many places are run by people who have no idea wtf happens or how to actually make anything better.
Note: I still think commies are shit and they have no redeeming qualities what so ever.
That said, they're right about companies being shit, they just have no actual solution. Removing admin bloat is the way to go. Fire half the people in admin spots across every industry and things immediately get better when you get people who know the actual jobs in their places

Bureaucratic nightmares, the lot of them.
