How much is the salary of company nurses in the Philippines?

The salary range for company nurses in the Philippines varies, primarily depending on the offer of the hiring agency/company. Typically, estimated monthly paycheck for company nurses is around 12,000 to 20,000 Philippine pesos.

Furthermore, factors such as being an agency hired or a direct hire matters. It's quite typical for agency nurses to earn less as compared to those directly hired by the company. This is because the agency gets a specific percentage or a cut from the nurse's salary. So, what happens is the company pays the agency an agreed upon amount, then cuts a portion of it, then pays it to the nurse. With that being said, direct hire nurses can earn as much as an estimate of 30,000 Philippine pesos per month.

Although, finding direct employment can be tough in the Philippines. Since managing nurses is quite challenging to some industries, they rather get an agency  to provide the required nursing manpower.

Aside from that, holiday, overtime, and night differential adds up on top of the basic pay. Other factors that also have to be considered are working hours and number of days the nurse works per week.

Typically, company nurses work around 5 times a week on a 12 hour shift, and most companies do offer incentives for working beyond that.
