自20世纪60年代以来，菲律宾向美国输送的专业移民人数最多，其中大多数是菲律宾卫生保健从业人员。本文将美帝国主义与移民到美国联系起来，认为护士在当代菲律宾移民中的过度代表是美国（新）殖民主义在菲律宾的影响，在菲律宾建立美国化的专业护理培训，美国护士的反复短缺以及菲律宾和美国机构对菲律宾护士的积极招聘的结果。为菲律宾护士移民设定背景的全球历史关系对菲律宾卫生专业人员的个人和家庭生活产生了影响。因此，本文的后半部分探讨了当妻子率先移民时，美国的婚姻和家庭关系是如何重建的。
Since the 1960s, the Philippines has sent the largest number of professional immigrants to the United States, the majority of whom are Filipino health care practitioners. Linking U.S. imperialism and migration to the United States, this article argues that the overrepresentation of nurses among contemporary Filipino immigrants is the result of intertwined influences of U.S. (neo)colonialism in the Philippines, the establishment of Americanized professional nursing training in the Philippines, the recurring shortage of nurses in the United States, and the aggressive recruitment of Filipino nurses by Philippine and U.S. agencies. The global historical relations that set the context for Filipino nurse migration has ramifications for the personal and family lives of Filipina health professionals. Accordingly, the second half of the paper explores how marriage and family relations are reconstituted in the United States when it was the wives who pioneered migration.
