There are nurses from other countries willing to come to the USA but the US government has put a 3 year hold on Phillipine (and I believe other foreign trained) nurses filling positions. I know of atleast one hospital (and surely there are probably others) who tentatively hired a number of nurses recently, expecting them within a year to fill needed positions. What now? The government surely doesn't expect other nurses will magically appear to fill the vacancies when they could not be filled locally (or nationally) before?
Again, it looks as though governments and schools are causing a worse shortage of nursing professionals than there needs to be.
