Just because they are Latino doesn't mean they are not Americans. Puerto Ricans (Boricuas) are American born Citizen. Nurses that are foreign tend to be from country like Asian Philippines, India. I have yet to see a sponsored RN from Dominica Republic(Caribbean) or Latin American (Costa Rica,Colombia, Venezuela) etc.
Nursing association are more preoccupied into pushing minimum entry level to be BSN . Makes you wonder why? shouldn't they be caring more about securing jobs for American trained Nurses . We are INVESTING into our American Nursing Education and ultimately into our economy by taking student loans and paying our taxes. Can we start a petition or do something. It's the squeaky wheels that gets the grease. I know for sure I would sign it. I am always signing some type of petitions most recent one was to NY state senators in reference of keeping low interest rates in student loans. RN, NYC New Grad, 1 Interview awaiting HR to call me. Resumes quite a few. Graduated Jan 2012 Passed Nclex March 2012
I truly hope they call you soon. I interview for a med/surg position (paneled interview) over 1 month ago. I stayed in touch with the Nurse Manager , Assistant NM. They stated the interview went excellent and that I got the job but HR is not calling me.
