I totally agree, heard Obama was looking to bring foreign nurses here due to the shortage... MOST of the nurses I graduated cannot find a job. Wouldn't they rather have a new grad from the USA instead of someone who doesn't speak our language or used to procedures as done here??? There wouldn't be a shortage if the hospital would hire NEW GRADS..... everyone I talked to would tell me they wanted me as soon as I have a year's experience.... I did find a job and they have hired many new grads, they are great to us, but it is over an hours drive each way.... thankful for them.
