<description>Excellent bill, with short term relief for nursing shortage as well as funding and scholarships to promote nursing profession to eradicate shoratge of nurses in the long run. I hope the bill is voted on its merit and not shot down because of other unrelated political interests....</description>

<description>As a nurse, I understand the shortages we have in our profession and the reasons we have them. Retention of domestic and foreign nurses is the real problem that needs to be addressed.  Importing more nurses from overseas is not going to fix the problem unless we can find ways to retain them and our own domestic nurses.  Also, see Sen. Dick Durbin's moral dilemma with recruiting foreign-educated nurses into our workforce @ http://include.nurse.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080714/FL02/307140020....</description>

<description>If you will pass the bill, please make sure that all qualified registered nurses will obtain US immigrant visa without delay and hindrance. This will greatly help preserve the humanity. For GOD'S SAKE, please provide US immigrant visas to qualified registered nurses as soon as possible! If the bill will become a law, you contributed greatly to GOD'S 2 great commandments which are to love God above yourself and to love people above yourself! Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU!!!...</description>

<description>For those of you who cannot understand the ethical dilemma with this sort of legislation, watch the slide show at http://alnconsulting.org/global_nurse_shortage.aspx.  Overall, this legislation appears fair and balanced in my opinion....</description>

<description>Im a filipino nurse waiting for my chance for interview to get visa for me and my wife to work as nurses in u.s. I think it is only fair with the amount of effort and money we put in to practice our profession in the u.s. because if a lot of anti immigrants say we dont deserve to work in your country then they should stop making money out of people like me paying for nclex/cgfns exams and visa fees..besides we we get a job in us we pay taxes as well....fair enough illegal aliens dont deserve amnesty but we are trying to get to u.s. legally certainly is a different thing........</description>

<description>Lots of comments to pass this bill but little concern why American Nurses are leaving the work force. Just like lots of other jobs, we are truly not paid what we are worth and the facilities try to cut corners and have us work more with less resources. We need a bill that will increase the pay for nurses, give nurses more rights in the profession,and to increase funding for nursing schools. The solution is not to go outside of the U.S but to correct the problem that exist here. I am a nurse and I see what most of you don't see. Those who are for this bill are truly in the dark about what is going on in the hospitals. Nurses are willing to come back and come into the profession but legislature need to fix what is broken. This bill is yet another band aid over issues....</description>

<description>I am an international who graduated from a US nursing school and passed the NClex 2 months later. I think the US should try to retain their nurses especially when they have been educated in us schools. The shortage is worldwide and many nurses in my situation are now thinking about moving to europe or canada or england. The USA need to retain their nurses, that's why we need to pass this bill!!! it's a must for the health and safety of the people, of your families and loved ones....</description>
