It’s not easy to be a government hospital nurse in the Philippines. In the US, the ratio of nurses to patients is 1:2. Here, it’s 1:20 during regular days and 1:60 during “toxic” seasons. No wonder our nurses go abroad and enjoy oodles of money.
How about nurses who want to stay? What can be their motivation? Maslow’s hierarchy of needs enumerates: 1. physiological needs, 2. security needs 3. esteem needs and 4, self actualization. This theory advocates that one has to be satisfied first then another need arises until one reaches the utmost –full use of their potential: self-actualization.
