Why do hospitals go over-seas to get nurses when there is PLENTY OF US here in the U.S.? There are so many New Grads that can't find jobs; SO why in the world are hospitals recruiting Nurses from other countries??? It REALLY bothers me!


Does anyone have an explaination?


Is it because we can pay them less?

Because they do not have to pay them as much as the American nurse. And they will work alot of overtime.  Theonly reason why they hire them is because it benefits the hospital.
