H1B's about to start stealing US Nursing jobs too......

Most people associate H1B visa with stealing US IT jobs.  If you work as a nurse you probably don’t worry too much about H1B’s stealing your job……But you should be worried because you are up next. 

They can’t offshore nursing jobs to other countries, but they sure can bring foreign workers in to take the jobs here.  That is exactly what is being worked on.

There are no safe jobs.  All jobs can be replaced, and they are working on it as hard as they can.  Get ready.

A recent memo by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) now describes how nurses, who were not eligible because of past rules, now qualify to compete for the highly competitive visas.

The new USCIS policy memorandum last month now opens the door for nurses to compete for the H1B visas and if they get it, can join employment sooner, though their dependents would have to be on H4 visas. They can then pursue their Green Cards while at employment.

USVIS has now made three general groups of nursing jobs in the US eligible for H1B visa position:

·                     Nursing positions at healthcare organizations, under the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Magnet Recognition Program. An H1B sponsor with ANCC Magnet status indicates that its nursing workforce has attained high standards of nursing practice and possesses at least a bachelor’s degree.

·                     Nurses performing specialized and complex duties usually associated with the attainment of a bachelor’s degree, such as: addiction nurses, cardiovascular nurses, critical care nurses; emergency room nurses; genetics nurses; neonatology nurses; nephrology nurses; oncology nurses; pediatric nurses; peri-operative nurses; or rehabilitation nurses.

Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) is considered a specialty occupation “due to the advanced level of education and training required for certification.” Some APRN positions include the Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM); the Certified Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS); Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP); and the Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).
