12. So true

We are poaching nurses from other countries where they are needed, and for recent immigrants to the US, health care is a good employment option. We are lucky we have so many immigrants interested and able to fill health care jobs, because there has been a nursing shortage for decades and this administration is making the work less attractive with job insecurity. We need to fix the first rungs of the nursing ladder so there is opportunity for everyone who has the right stuff to advance to more training and better pay. Then we won’t have a shortage of workers, but will they find jobs?
