There can be no doubt that with the continuing crisis we are facing with the AIDS epidemic. the longevity of our citizens. and the increasing advances in critical care medicine and rehabilitation. which are helping to save more lives and to help the critically injured return to society in a productive capacity. the demands for more nursing care will only increase. One area in which hospitals and nursing homes have been able to help offset the critical shortage of nurses has been the ability to attract foreign nurses. In this respect. the Immigration and Naturalization Service does offer temporary H1 visas to foreign nurses in order that they may become employed in U.S. health care facilities. These visas are usually granted for a period of 5 years. Currently. there are approximately 16.000 foreign nurses working in the United States. These nurses are represented in nearly every State but are concentrated in six States.
