In 2005, among all the countries that took the NCLEX exam, nurses educated in the Philippines, India, South Korea and Canada represented 80% of a internationally educated nurses passing the NCLEX exam. The Philippines, took 50% of the numbers.

This is no surprise to me as Nurses are one of the highest paid profession in the world but there’s no way they can earn a good salary here in our country.
