Tiberius Posted December 28, 2023 Author Share Posted December 28, 2023 https://www.forbes.com/sites/waynewinegarden/2023/08/14/greater-immigration-can-alleviate-troubling-skilled-nurse-shortage/?sh=64fdb9b159b8 Immigration, always a strength for the U.S. economy, has the potential to fill a dangerous and growing labor shortage of skilled nurses. According to nurse.org’s 2023 State of Nursing report, “91% of nurses believe the nursing shortage is getting worse, and 79% report that their units are inadequately staffed.” And it’s not just nurses who recognize this problem. 90% of hospital CEOs report that nursing shortages are their most pressing workplace issue. Burnout from Covid-19 is an important contributor to this problem. A survey by NCSBN (an organization of nursing regulatory bodies) found that approximately 100,000 registered nurses (RNs) quit in the two years following the COVID-19 outbreak “due to stress, burnout and retirements.” By 2027, “another 610,388 RNs reported an ‘intent to leave’ the workforce.” Over the next couple of years, approximately 20% of RNs are projected to retire or pursue other opportunities. Despite all these people choosing to retire or leave nursing, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that there will be “about 203,200 openings for registered nurses” each year, on average, over the next decade. Encouraging greater immigration of skilled nurses offers a solution to this otherwise intractable problem. Foreign-educated nurses are highly trained professionals who are qualified to staff medical facilities throughout the nation and can help fill the growing gaps in care. Countries, including the Philippines and India, train a surplus of nurses with the expectation that they will work in other nations and send remittances back home. It’s a win-win opportunity for all. Hospitals are already increasingly turning toward foreign-educated nurses to staff their organizations. Without these professionals, the current nursing shortage would be more acute leading to additional adverse outcomes for patients. There is a catch, however, because the U.S. State Department has halted access to work visas. Only those nurses who filed for a green card prior to June 2022 are eligible for visa interviews. This rule all but guarantees that the demand for experienced nurses will fail to keep up with the needs of the healthcare system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is called Regulated and LEGAL immigration, and that is a good thing. you're conflating it. either intentionally or ignorantly with illegal mass migration with little to no regulation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US Egg Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 The number of illegals during the Reagan years is more than dwarfed compared to now. Same goes with the associated problems, borders and cities epically overrun and overwhelmed in waves. Implying Biden’s doing a “Reaganesque” type job regarding illegals is beyond far fetched. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 But...but...but...its an invasion! The do-nothing Republicans don't care https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/01/18/how-right-aims-scuttle-border-talks/ Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said negotiators are “very close” and the Senate is “likely” to consider the supplemental next week. The floor schedule is up to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), but the statements do show McConnell’s optimism. Senate Republicans, however, face a hard-right faction of the party and conservative media ecosystem that are trying to scuttle any deal before it’s even announced. A campaign by influential conservatives that includes misinformation, public pressure and behind-the-scenes lobbying aims to get House Republicans to oppose any deal the Senate reaches. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has sided with the hard-liners on the issue as he comes under increasing pressure to resist any Senate deal. Border security is an easier issue for Johnson to appease his detractors on as he’s likely to again defy the right by passing a short-term government funding bill with the support of Democrats to keep the government open past Friday.
