Japan wants 500 Philippine nurses
Around 500 nurses from the Philippines are set to be deployed to Japan, according to the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA).
The deployment is under the Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement or JPEPA.
According to the POEA, the nurses will work as assistants first in Japan before they can be fully recognized as registered nurses after passing the licensure exam in the East Asian country.
Each successful applicant will earn JPY 200,000 or around P100,000 monthly while working as a nursing assistant.
The POEA will screen applicants for the job openings starting in November.
Applicants should be graduates of Bachelor of Science in Nursing, passed the board exam in the Philippines, worked at least 3 years in a hospital, and be physically fit.
Qualified nurses can file their applications online at www.poea.gov.ph or www.eregister.poea.gov.ph.
