The Philippines leads all countries in global nurse emigration. Today, Filipino nurses represent over 75% of the foreign nurse labor force recruited to and working in American hospitals, most of which are inner-city municipally operated institutions with reported shortages of nursing personnel. This article examines the historical roots of the American/Philippines nursing relationship more generally and the particular role of the Rockefeller Foundation in the 20th-century emigration patterns and work practices of Filipino nurses. Examination of one group of nurse workers enhances an understanding of the ways in which social, cultural, economic, and political factors influence broader health care decisions.
菲律宾在全球护士移民方面领先于所有国家。如今，在美国医院招募并工作的外国护士劳动力中，菲律宾护士占比超过75%，其中大多数是市中心由市政府运营的机构，这些机构报告称护理人员短缺。本文更全面地审视了美国与菲律宾护理关系的历史根源，以及洛克菲勒基金会在20世纪菲律宾护士移民模式和工作实践中所扮演的特殊角色。对一组护士工作者的研究有助于加深我们对社会、文化、经济和政治因素影响更广泛医疗保健决策方式的理解。
