Cynthia Garcia, RN, remembers the potent mix of thrill and trepidation that coursed through her the moment she learned she'd landed a job in the United States.
The Filipino nurse knew she'd have to endure a difficult separation from her tight-knit family, but soon she'd be earning $1,600 per month instead of $50. She'd have a chance to pursue a better life and regularly send money to her family.
That was almost 20 years ago. Today, Garcia is working to give other nurses from the Philippines the same opportunity at her hospital, Methodist Medical Center in Dallas.
