Unfair Treatment of Immigrant Nurses Needs to Be Addressed, New Commentary Says

1/22/2020

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Jan. 22, 2020) – Lawmakers have the opportunity to improve labor conditions within the international nurse-staffing industry by adding employment rules to a bipartisan bill currently under debate in the Senate, concludes a commentary published today in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act, currently pending a vote in the U.S. Senate, would remove caps on employment-based visas from any single country and reserves 4,400 employment-based visas for immigrant nurses. If signed into law, the proposed legislation would be a win for the international nurse-staffing industry, but may also exacerbate current unfair labor practices, writes Patricia (Polly) Pittman, PhD, FAAN, the commentary’s author and a professor of health policy and management at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health (Milken Institute SPH).
