There are 500,000 well-paid jobs waiting for Polish nurses in U.S.

There are 500,000 well-paid jobs waiting for Polish nurses in U.S. Recruitment specialists representing a holding of six Georgia hospitals have started interviewing 600 nursing candidates in Warsaw and Kraków. The recruitment drive is being conducted by Job Net for an American company CSI. "Different sources, government included, state that in the next few years the U.S. will be in need of an extra 250 to 500-thousand nurses," said CSI's manager Witold A. Zabiński. He added that successful candidates will receive about $50,000 a year and the same conditions as American employees. The company requires candidates to speak English and have at least five year's experience as a nurse. Those who pass the initial vetting stage will receive six months training. They will then have to pass a language test and medical exams to allow them to work as a nurse in the U.S. Visas will be provided by their American employers. CSI is considering taking over one of this country's nursing high schools or creating its own to train nurses to U.S. standards. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1) D.W.
