As the United States runs short of nurses, U.S. opening its doors to immigrant nurses:
Its very alarming and It’s no secret that the United States has a nursing shortage, one that promises to grow to alarming proportions. Too many nurses are retiring, and too few are entering the profession. To compound the problem, within the next 5 to 10 years, over 76 million Baby Boomers are scheduled to retire from the workforce, with only about 44 million Generation X'ers available to pick up the slack. This will soon place unprecedented demands for health care agency services / home care agency services on a system that is already stretched thin. The problem is not limited to hospital nursing. Today, there is also a critical shortage of nursing faculty. As a result, thousands of qualified men and women who want to enter the field are being turned away by the nation’s schools of nursing.
And we can capitalize on this business opportunity , by having a our own Nursing Agency, wherein we don't have to be a nurse just to start this business. All we need is the desire to be self employed to be able to tap into this multi billion dollar business.
Nurses now a days wake up and take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity. Are you tired of having no input in your career, little money in the bank, lack of respect for your profession and little compensation for the long hours and years of dedication? Starting a nursing agency business or becoming an Independent RN Contractor is a great way to renew your interest and rejuvenate your nursing career. As An Independent Nurse Contractor you will increase your choices as to when, where and how often you work, substantially increase your income and most of all gain professional autonomy.
An independent nurse contractor contracts with a health care facility to provide nursing services while a nursing agency is an agency that provides nursing services to private individuals and health care facilities on a contractual basis. An Independent contractor can contract his or her nursing services directly with a health care facility or with a patient and continue bedside practice. The contract is similar to those used by nursing agencies and travel companies outlining the services to be provided, the responsibilities of both the health care facility and the nurse, and the length of time the services are to be provided.
Nurse Contractors practice in all aspects of the Health care Industry; Home Health, Nursing Homes, Nursing Agencies, Hospitals, Rehab Centers and Doctors Offices, all aspects of Nurse Consulting just to name a few. No advance degrees are necessary unless your business includes diagnosing and treating medical problems. State nurse practice acts do no prohibit a nurse from starting up their own business as an Independent Nurse Contractor. Independent nurse contractor is one who contracts with a health care facility for nursing services. A contractual agreement is drawn up between you and the institution. You will be able to negotiate your compensation, hours worked and length of time your services will be needed.
How To Start Your Own Nursing Agency will gain you vast insight to the nursing industry. You don't have to be a nurse to start your own Nurse Agency or Nurse Staffing Agency. All you need are packages and the desire to be self employed. This is the only industry where there will always be a shortage. There is never a fear for competition. You can be in business in less than a week. It is time for any ambitious person to tap into this multi billion dollar industry.

Michigan fights nursing shortage
A proposed law would allow out-of-staters to practice here without separate license; union balks.
Sharon Terlep / The Detroit News
Nursing shortage
# The shortage of RNs in Michigan will total about 7,000 by 2010 and almost 18,000 by 2015
# Of all professional careers, nursing is expected to have the largest number of openings -- 110,000 nationwide -- by 2012.
# Michigan's nursing schools graduated 3,951 students in 2002-03, down from 4,260 in 1997-98.
Michigan lawmakers think they've found a way to help ease the state's nursing shortage and make it easier for patients to get nursing help over the phone and on the Internet.
But the state's major nursing union, which represents about 1,800 caregivers, is prepared to fight the plan.
A proposed state law would allow nurses who are licensed in some other states to practice in Michigan without getting a separate license here. Nurses also could provide over-the-phone or Internet help to patients in other states.
The move would put Michigan into a compact that includes 20 other states, all of which have agreed to share information about nurses and abide by set standards of practicing.
Supporters of the law, which the state House expects to vote on this week, say it will allow nurses to travel more freely between state lines, potentially bringing more nurses to Michigan. The bill also aims to allow nurses to deliver over-the-phone care to patients in other states -- an increasingly popular option as technology makes remote care a reality and hospitals start nursing help lines to answer patient questions.
"It's a matter of making it easier for nurses that want to come in to work," said Rep. John Stakoe, R-Highland, who introduced the bill. "It just seems to be a common-sense approach. I don't understand why the nurses would oppose it."
The Lansing-based Michigan Nurses Association has come out against the proposal, saying that allowing outsiders to practice here without a Michigan license could lead to less qualified caregivers and loopholes that allow nurses with discipline problems to keep practicing.
The union also believes that bringing in workers from other states and making telemedicine easier to practice avoids addressing the underlying problems behind the caregiver shortage, such as low pay and poor working conditions.
"This bill may be an attempt to put another Band-Aid on the nursing shortage," said John Armelagos, a nurse and the association's president of economic and general welfare.
"It falls short of including essential safeguards to ensure patients are protected."
Armelagos said the state should first address concerns about staffing and working conditions that drive nurses from the field.
The opposition came as a surprise to Stakoe, who said no one spoke out against the bill at a hearing last week. He said he didn't know how the union's opposition would affect the bill.
The compact that allows nurses to practice across state lines addresses worries about licensing standards and discipline, Stakoe said. The compact was launched in 2000 and initially included Texas, Utah and Wisconsin.
There's one national exam that nurses must pass to practice, so nurses in any state would have to meet the same licensure requirements, said Dawn Kappel, spokeswoman for the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, which oversees the compact.
While some states have specific standards of practice, such as a mandate for continuing education or for background checks, the requirements are basically the same, she said. States involved in the compact work together to ensure standards are acceptable to everyone involved.
As for addressing the shortage, the compact was never intended to be a solution, Kappel said. It was created primarily to address the advent of long-distance nursing care.
The nursing association worries, however, that while the compact aims to meet concerns over discipline and standards, it fails to do so.
"There's a lot of lip service," said Cheryl Johnson, president of the Michigan Nurses Association, "but the oversight isn't being done."
