Abstract—The authors probed on the adaptation challenges experienced by Filipino nurse educators in a multicultural milieu in the Sultanate of Oman. The authors utilized Qualitative Interpretive-Existential Phenomenological design from saturated unstructured interview data with nine (9) female co-researchers. The transcribed data is rigorously analyzed through Van Manen’s methodological interpretation. Based on the findings, Perils, Pitfalls, Pristine Pearls, and Prestige are the four major themes emerged from the common responses of Pinoy Nurse Educators, along with its derived sub-themes and numerous reduced related categories, respectively. Based from the overall findings, the authors discovered a resembled Filipino Bamboo-inspired See-Saw model which underpinned the adaptation challenges faced by these Filipino nurse educators to balance the Perils and Pitfalls with that of pearls and prestige when anchored with the proposed program on adaptation strategies and training of expatriates (PASTE) which included pre- & post-departure advises and preparation (PDAP) strategies; and social, cultural, organizational, and personal expatriates (SCOPE) Training, set as a benchmark for global standard migration adaptation program.
