US VISA

:halo...have any one heard about the non immigrant visa to be issued specifically for nurses to lift up the retrogression...i think it was called the W visa..its just that its still on process....any word if the US govenrment had approved it???

Wow! You really need to do some reading on these forums, so that you don't ask the same question that has been asked hundreds of times before.
With the current increase in unemployment, there is certainly no need to fast-track foreign nurses! Some US nurses have lost their jobs; some new grads are having difficulty finding jobs. Until the US economic situation improves, I doubt that any "special" visas will be offered for nurses.

There made be need in texas, but when I read the local Texas board, there seems to be many nurses looking for work.

I am reading posts about hiring freezes and how hard it is for a new nurse to find a position.

I did a search on Monster and other employment sites and only agencies are looking no hospitals.

Could you please post where all these jobs are since many US nurses are looking and it would be a service for all to let all knowing where these jobs are.
