INDIA A rising number of skilled Indian nurses seek overseas opportunities despite domestic demand
Demand for skilled nurses is projected to grow by 17-18 percent by 2027 in the country. Still, many trained ones seek opportunities abroad, drawn by enhanced remuneration packages and facilitative family visa programs.
The demand for nurses globally has witnessed a notable surge over the past 3 years, recording a 14-15 percent year-on-year increase in employment opportunities primarily influenced by the growth in the healthcare industry and early career retirement patterns in the nursing ecosystem.
Proactive initiatives from countries such as the US, the UK, Canada, and Japan have facilitated the entry of Indian nurses into these markets.

ENGLAND
The role of apprenticeships in growing the nursing
workforce
With interest in traditional degree nursing appearing to wilt, some people believe that apprenticeships are the key to professional growth by offering a pathway for those who could never become nurses otherwise.
In 2017, nursing apprenticeships were created in England. For some, earning while learning was more realistic than studying at university for three years, with the degree bursary being removed the same year. The number of nurse apprentices is set to increase dramatically over the next few years.
The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan includes a target to boost the proportion of nurses trained via apprenticeships from its current 9% to 28% by 2031-32.
Apprenticeships have been controversial among some in nursing due to a fear that they could potentially undermine the work done to make it a degree profession.

CANADA
New data confirms nurse staffing ratio continues to plummet in Ontario
The Ontario Nurses' Association (ONA) says that new Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) data confirms that Ontario's shortage of nurses is worsening, with only 651 registered nurses (RNs) per 100,000 people. This is the lowest in the country and a drop from 661 last year.
"Ontario's registered nurse staffing ratio is dead last in the country – and we're falling further behind with every year that passes," says ONA Provincial President Erin Ariss, RN.

PHILIPPINES
Filipino nurses advance careers, enhance skills in Saudi
hospitals
Filipino nurses who have been advancing their careers in Saudi Arabia say the Kingdom has offered them not only professional development, but also ways to enhance their skills and education.
There are an estimated 130,000 nurses from the Philippines employed in Saudi Arabia. Many of them began working before passing board exams — a process which in their home country takes many years. In the Kingdom, nursing jobs have allowed them to be professionally active and continue their education at the same time.
There are about 1 million Filipinos in Saudi Arabia, the fourth-largest group of expats in the Kingdom. They are also a main source of remittances to the Philippines.
The Kingdom has been the top choice for Filipino nurses working abroad since at least 2021, according to data from the Philippine Department of Health.
