Filipino doc moves to US to work as nurse for far better pay

If you built it, they will come. If you don't pay them decently, they will go somewhere else.
This isn't unusual. Lots of IMGs (international medical graduates, the PC term) come to the US and work as nurses, lab techs, research techs, orderlies, etc., for a period of time. They work on their English and try to get some rotations as 'externs' -- visiting medical students -- at U.S. hospitals. Eventually they try to get into a residency at a U.S. hospital and develop their careers from there.

#1  He will do well. Basilan, his home, is a shit hole full of corruption and the hospital is empty. he would be living in a bamboo hut on Basilan. Good for him.
