Anyway, you can't just "offshore" a nurse. Nursing licenses do not transfer, not even from state to state within the US. This is why there is such a persistent nursing shortage in the US - if hospitals could just poach nurses from elsewhere, they would. It is not that easy. They can recruit from third-world countries, but they then have to pay for their education in the US, they have to help them with their immigration issues (and hope there are no snags), and hope that they eventually obtain their licenses here.
That is SO not true. You can easily reciprocate a nursing license from state to state. And hospitals DO poach nurses from elsewhere. You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Many of my friends and fellow nurses are from the Phillipines, where there are many universities that offer English-language RN, BSN, and MSN programs that allow for licensure in the States.
