Nursing is now becoming a global profession and graduates of nursing in the Philippines have been actively looking for nursing jobs abroad on the internet. Some of the most common countries that have high demand for nurses are Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and the United States.
While waiting for their overseas placement, nursing graduates in the country are encouraged by the government to sign up and apply for the NARS - Nurses Assigned in Rural Service program to help them acquire necessary experience to work abroad.
