I work within the medical field and work closely with nurses. We are always lacking appropriate staffing in multiple units, daily. The ratio of foreigners to american nurses is quite high. It's very difficult to communicate with the majority of them beacause there is such a large language barrier. This isn't condusive to providing good healthcare. It is my opinion that we should open more facilities for the training of nurses here in the states instead of shipping them from over seas. Unemployment raites are so high right now that we really can't afford to hire on immigrants. Especially when we have willing and able bodied americans that are up to the challenge. Texas needs to focus more on education, all the way from kindergarten to graduate school.
