In his job as a nurse and healthcare administrator, Chris decided on appropriate treatments for patients, and checked their vital signs. Sometimes, he monitored up to 10 patients in intensive care — and he did it all from Manila, thousands of miles away from the U.S. hospital he worked for. Chris, who asked to go by a pseudonym because he is bound by nondisclosure agreements, moved through a dozen remote nursing jobs in U.S. hospitalsbetween 2020 and 2023.
