LAS VEGAS PHYSICIAN PRACTICES UNDER DHS INVESTIGATION FOR J-1 VIOLATIONS
The Las Vegas Sun reports that the Department of Homeland Security is investigating various physician practices in the Las Vegas metro area who are alleged to have placed physicians in non-underserved locations. The J-1 waivers the doctors received are based on agreeing to work full time in underserved locations, but DHS is apparently focusing on technical violations relating to the doctors working in locations not specified on the H-1B Labor Condition Application form.

RECESSION SLOWS NURSING SCHOOL ADMISSIONS
From the American Hospital Association News:
Admissions to pre-licensure nursing programs fell by 2% in 2008, the first decline in at least six years, according to the latest annual survey by the National League for Nursing. Nearly one-quarter of U.S. nursing programs received more qualified applicants than they could accept due to shortages of faculty, clinical placements or classroom space. "This study points to the inextricable connection between the economy, nursing education and the need to reform our health care delivery system,” said Pamela Rudisill, president of the American Organization of Nurse Executives, an AHA subsidiary.
