Not only do we no longer need the foreign nurses. we actually have a potential glut of nurses in this country. Simply put. we have more nurses than we have jobs. The hospital industry has gone through a massive restructuring. As hospitals have merged. closed or "scaled back" in order to become more competitive. the number of nursing positions has decreased. At the time. the pool of nurses is actually increasing. We simply do not have a need or the jobs for the H1A nurses. The H1A visas sunsetted on September 1. 1995. We should allow the program to end. Think about the American nurses who have dedicated their lives to helping sick people.
