Why nurses from abroad are in high demand in North Dakota and across the U.S.
Fred de Sam Lazaro:
North Dakota’s chilly climate is one motive why most international nurses do not renew previous their three-year obligation. Isolation is one other.
In Dickinson, about 80 miles northwest of Elgin, nurse Roger Uy and spouse Noemi (ph) arrived from Manila by way of San Francisco with their 1-year-old son, Raiu (ph), exhausted from all of the journey, uncertain in regards to the blast of chilly air that greeted him.
Nonetheless, Roger Uy’s all the time employer, the 88-bed St. Luke’s expert nursing facility, provided a heat welcome on a busy first full day in Dickinson.
