So do certain hospitals in rural areas. H.R. 2759. the "Health Professional Shortage Area Nursing Relief Act of 1998". introduced by our colleague BOBBY RUSH. has been drafted very narrowly to help precisely these kinds of hospitals. It would create a new temporary registered nurse visa program designated "HiC" that would provide up to 500 visas a year and that would sunset in four years. To be able to petition for an alien. an employer would have to meet four conditions. First. the employer would have to be located in a health professional shortage area as designated by the Department of Health and Human Services.
