Import Nurses?

Apparently there is a shortage of nurses.  So politicians will solve that problem!!

...foreign nurses should get U.S. nursing jobs because not enough Americans are interested in nursing careers, said a statement from Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK). “Federal resources are scarce and inadequate to finance an expansion of our medical training system,” he said in a February 25 statement to Breitbart News.

“The number of Americans interested in pursuing health care professions has unfortunately not kept pace with the growing demand … [so] allowing skilled, foreign medical professionals to practice in the U.S. is a suitable alternative,” Cole’s statement said. “While I wish more Americans were choosing to pursue education and professions in the health care field, the reality is that our country has a serious labor shortage and simply cannot fulfill the demand,” he said....

All well and good, if and only if the imported nurses passed the NCLEX nursing exam.  Otherwise, it's just another cheap labor trick.

You trust the politicians?
