   I work in the ED in a town surrounded by Assissted livings, ECF's, SNF's etc so we get LOTS of the confused pts. We also get an inexplicably high number of psych... (I am not a fan psych) anyway, so one night we had probably 6 psych pts (about 25ish%...

4. Illegal immigrant nurses can now be licensed in California

   elisa938 replied to Guest07/13/15's topic in Immigration

   Responding to #23. If they cant get here legally by immigration status and are in undue danger in their country they can seek asylum here, but there is still a Legal process to do it. And yes by flooding our cities they are truly robbing the hardwork...
