  15. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    rainbow11 replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It seems like some people think that US-trained foreign nurses are the ones who haven't played by the rules. That's so wrong!! As I said before, and I'm repeating myself again, we have been playing by...

  16. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    rainbow11 replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't think 20,000 foreign-born RNs will be hired in place of American nurses. The stats say that there will be ONE MILLION open nursing position by 2020! I don't know the current stats, but I'm...

  17. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    rainbow11 replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I would imagine that all employers sponsoring foreign-nurses would ask for some kind of contract or commitment. I heard most hospitals ask a foreign-born nurse to work for two years in exchange for...

  21. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    rainbow11 replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Do you think that I'm unable to work because I do not have a Social Security Number?? HA HA. That's funny. I'm sorry you made me laugh again (I see you have no idea). This has nothing to do with a SSN...

  22. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    rainbow11 replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm giving more hope in this H.R.2536 "Emergency Nursing Supply Relief Act" than a Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR), which focuses on illegal immigration, borders etc. unless CIR will include a...

  23. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    rainbow11 replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    rainbow11 replied to Lee2584's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS
