I find the story a little confusing? Premed Nursing? They are called Nurses several times? Is this one of those countries where you go through a step as a Nurse then a DR? I did read about that before.

I do not think they are MD's yet.

They are physicians. Then they did a 1 year 'acclerated' nursing school program in Philippines. Nurses are not too excited about this because medicine is different than nursing,eh?

They came to the US because wages are much more as nurses than physicians get in the Philippines........

actually, no.
his undergraduate course was nursing before he went into medical school... so technically, he was already a nurse before he became a doctor....

so a lesson that can be learned is that if you ever see a phillipine nurse, he or she can very well possibly be a MD. treat them nicely and you will learn a lot more and probably wont make a fool out of yourself
but that usually goes the same for all nurses anyway.
