Massive US recruitment of Indian nurses - the new wave Babu Ghanta Aug. 5, 2005

It is a new trend that will miniscule all other trends seen before.

The overseas placement agencies claim that there is an estimated shortage of nearly 2.5 lakh nurses in hospitals across the US and hence they are now wooing qualified Indian nurses to relocate to the land of the greenback.

The nurses can make $5000 per month and up. There are companies that bring in Indian nurses with green card.

The aging baby boomers of America provide the bonanza of jobs for the Indian nurse. According to sources this is just the tip of the iceberg. The actual wave in 2010 will be so big that no one really can imagine the same now.

Anyone see a trend here? Engineering jobs - gone/ tech jobs - gone/ now nursing jobs being sold.

I've known a couple of people who were working in engineering who had trouble getting jobs in their field after getting laid off and were planning on going back to college to get into health care (in one form or another). Of course they are still paying on the student loans from the last degree that they can't use.

I remember on FR, I don't remember the posters names, hearing about those who were retrained out of manufacturing into Info Technology. Who then lost their jobs in that, and were trying to choose a field to try once again to get trained in.

About the same time, I learned of young IT professionals who resigned with the military, having lost their jobs.

During all this time, H1b/L1 visa workers were (and are) pouring into this country, filling the exact jobs they all had.

Of course, some jobs were filled overseas, as so many large corporations/banks/telecommunications/etc. offshored/outsourced. In most cases, American engineers and IT employees were forced to train their replacements. Keven Flanagan of Bank of America, shot himself in the Bay are after he was fired. He had just spent several months training a dozen Indians to do his job. He could not find work in all that time.

In the medical field, the AMA severely restricted the number of med students. Then when the shortages came, they hired foreigners. It seemed very deliberate to me. I knew and have known many very capable fully qualified and eager Americans who were not admitted to med school. High IQs, straight A's, high SAT scores. Turned down. Then later, hordes of foreigners are becoming American doctors. Go figure.

All the nurses I've spoken with claim that there is no real shortage. They said that the problem is with the working hours/conditions/pay. There are a lot of nurses not working full time and many retire early. It is very demanding. I don't know the current state of nursing schools. But there was a time when they were full up, and it wasn't that easy to get in.
