Maybe they would get more people in the USA going into nursing if they did not have the chance of being sued hanging over their heads every day.......so many Americans nurses that I know left the job for that reason alone......
Seems to refer to nurses coming from the Philippines and India on a work permit. British nurses usually try and go straight to green card, this being one area where you dont need labor certification. Not sure this will affect us so much except by strengthening the current nursing shortage.
