Share this:

The Employment and Training Administration and the Wage and Hour
Division of the Department of Labor today published a Final Rule that
will implement the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas
Reauthorization Act of 2005. This Act reauthorized the Nursing Relief
for Disadvantaged Areas Act of 1999 and has now finalized the rules in
this act for enforcement.

The two acts stated above allow certain health care facilities to file
attestation applications to employ alien workers as registered nurses
under the H-1C Visa program in areas in which there are shortages of
nurses. Additionally, the acts authorize the Department of Labor to
review, approve and enforce these applications. This final rule will
take effect on April 5, 2010.
