By NEIL MUNRORepublican and Democrat legislators want to help hospital chains import at least 25,000 extra foreign nurses, even though tens of thousands of Americans are being denied places in underfunded nursing schools.
“If there’s one thing I hear from my hospitals in Texas, it’s the shortage of nurses because of the burnout factor associated with COVID-19 and the like,” Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn said at a March 15 hearing. “Now hospitals are having to pay incredible multiples of what they ordinarily would pay to nurses to contract with companies that basically will provide the [travel] nurses.”
