Nurse Salary (Philippines)

Philippine nurses in public hospitals typically earn around 25,000 to 35,000 pesos per month, with private hospitals often paying far less.

Overview

Entry-level public-sector pay under standardized salary laws sits near the upper 20 thousands of pesos monthly, while some private hospitals pay below 15,000, which is why emigration defines the profession. Hundreds of thousands of Filipino nurses work abroad, in the Gulf, the United Kingdom, the United States and everywhere in between, and their remittances anchor family economies. Understaffing at home, with nurse-to-patient ratios among the region's weakest, is chronic. Figures are approximate government scales and surveys.
