US Retrogression and Nurses arund the globe - soaring? OR souring?

Although recent retrogression relief is welcomed by nurses, hospitals and agencies alike, Procare USA president Scott O'Carroll cautions that the relief is only temporary and that retrogression delays could again effect green card processing times for registered nurses. O'Carroll states that, "in light of the critical nursing shortage, the US must restore non-immigrant visas similar to the old H-1A category that expired in 1997 if the US hopes to attract quality foreign trained nurses." Immigration laws in many countries including the UK, Canada and Ireland, help to facilitate the immigration process making it much easier for nurses to work in these countries. We're losing quality, foreign trained nurses to other industrialized countries simply because of our cumbersome immigration process.

Procare USA has been recruiting foreign trained nurses since 1990 and has licensing and immigration specialists on staff to assist foreign trained nurses.
