Welcome to Season 3, Episode 14. In
this ICYMI Encore Episode, we go back to Season 2, Episode 19.
There are a lot of Filipino nurses. In fact, the Philippines is the
leading exporter of registered nurses across the world. So how did
that happen? Spoilers… American Colonialism was a factor. To
celebrate National Nurses Day, we take a look into the History of
Filipino Nurses and talk about some of the conditions they face
with discrimination and racism. If this topic intrigues you, then
we highly recommend reading the book Empire of Care:
Nursing and Migration in Filipino American History by
Catherine Ceniza Choy, a professor of ethnic studies at the
University of California, Berkeley. To begin this episode, we start
with a brief history of National Nurses Day. For previous episodes
