Being a nurse is the most in demand out of the country job right now; however other countries like Saudi Arabia wants to accommodate their local applicants first. But according to the survey, 80% of Saudi men and women prefer to be treated by Filipinos since they are gentler especially when handling pregnancy cases. So Japan opens their doors for Filipinos to work as a nurse in their country. This is a good opportunity to start the same work in a different country.

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) has announced that Japan needs 500 nurses from the Philippines. The said proposal is under the present Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA). Nurses who would pass the qualifications shall be employed as an assistant and can be fully accepted as registered nurses after passing the local licensure examination. For those successful ones, they are expected to get ¥200,000, or approximately Php 100,000.

POEA will examine the job applicants starting November. The qualifications are as follow; should be a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Nursing at any reputable schools nationwide, must be a Philippine’s nursing board exam passer, at least 3 years practice of working in a hospital and should be physically and mentally fit.
