Immigration: More Foreign Nurses Needed?

Ghilbert, since you are covered by all the working protections of any worker, there is a law called the Family Leave Act, you are allowed 3 months time off( unpaided after your vacation time) to care for your mother. You will need a note from her health care provider some paper work and you will be all set. Sorry to hear about your Mother.

To C_Beshore, any job is better than no job, I live in the northeast,why doesn't you area recruit at job fairs ? I am guessing that other nurses don't know there are jobs available.

Unless you have taken US citizenship you are limited in the number of days you can be out of the country in any one year.

I declined a tech position,at the hospital where my mom works because of the fact it had foreign nurses who happen to be from the phillipines ( if thats how you even spell it). I can not stand it when they talk in there LANGUAGE and form cliques because they are "superior" hahah thats what they think they are but unfortunately they are so wrong !! WE NEED OUR jobs back !

Thanks for the info. There is a misconception that permanent residents can't be out longer than 6 months without abandoning their residency, but it's not factual - the determination of abandonment depends on "intent" not purely time out. I am on a non-resident visa, which gives me in/out privileges, provided I am maintaining my employment. But thank you for the information.

Can I ask if you knew I (a British nurse) worked at a hospital would you decline a job there?
