Fantasy football game is a football competition with imaginary teams. In this game the participants own, manage and coach the games based on statistics generated by actual players or teams of a professional sport.

Best Buddy
I just thought it could make a really cool movie. It's not that it's just a buddy comedy but it's all about two guys hating each other and towards the end they're good friends. I liked that these two guys were best friends from the very beginning, and they're crazy.

Guide to good living-here's what nurses do...
The reason I enjoy reading magazines online is that I can pick and choose what articles I want to read. I also don’t have to deal with those bazillion subscription cards that seem to fall out of the magazine as I try to read it.
I have so many crochet magazines, nurses magazines,anime or cartoon magazines etch that I love, but it is hard for me to to use them because I don’t have indexes.I don’t have time to go looking through them all to find them. It would be much easier if they were online and would take a lot less room in my house plus avoid paper mites and the yellowing/damage of pages.
I love reading this online magazine site, scrubsmag- the nurse’s guide to good living; this is a great idea to practice a new lifestyle- an inspiring and uplifting clinical site ever! It is different from other clinical sites in a way that they are giving benefit tips, guide, stories, news, and reviews that are related to good living and healthy living. I really appreciate their effort sharing to the public; this is very useful, helpful, and inspirational to everyone! I like reading their articles that also focus on nursing career, or speak to the “stages of a nursing career” dedicated to student nurses, new nurses, and seasoned/mentor as well; it’s indeed fun, warm, direct, and timely yet original content. Why don’t you check this website today and learn more about good living tips, guides, and health advices and reviews?
Check out this website today and participate to the “scrubby award”- you can nominate someone for a scrubby award and includes the reason why they deserve to receive the particular award, create and submit it! You can also visit the nursing poll and vote and give your reasons why you choose that answer, or give your comments. It is a useful site; visit Scrubs (scrubsmag.com) today!

I finally found out why

So I’ve been sitting here thinking about why I go to movies alone, hate just the idea about being around people and hate women in general. It’s called a life experience, and I’ve had many of these.
As for my way of relationships. Lets just say, I have been single and alone for 3 years now. I can’t help to think I’m going to end up that rich lonely bachelor, who never gets married and never has kids. It’s a fear that I deal with every day. Another problem I have is the lack of emotion I have for many things, I never cry, I hardly smile, I don’t frown, I just have this cold, dead look in my face. This look is hardly broken with a smile, and wish it would.
I just want to be happy, but it seems that day is either way down the road, or non-exsitent.

A new Star on Rise!!

She is considered as the Philippines most famous mother celebrity today, not necessarily because her offspring is World Boxing Champ and national hero Manny Pacquiao but because she is, by herself a quirky, lovable character, a truly Pinoy original which makes her a newsworthy personality.
Her trip to the US of A and back hugged a good number of headlines and even HBO Sports special 24/7 has featured her arrival in Las Vegas after having included her in their previous special on the Pacquiao-Dela Hoya fight. Various news crews assigned to cover the boxer have also been dispatched to get hold of his mother and include her in their interviews. Indeed, Mommy Dionisia, just like her famous son has already acquired a mystique all her own. Men seek her autographs, women want to be pictured with her and reporters fall in line to capture each word that comes out of her mouth.
Mommy Dionisia Pacquiao has arrived! Being Manny’s secret weapon,and his staunchest prayer warrior was not lost on the boxing champ and has been showering her with gifts that only a few mothers in the world could ever imagine receiving from their sons.
Last May 15, 2009, Mother Dionisia, was celebrating her 60th birthday and the World Boxing Champion making sure she gets the grandest celebration that she deserves. The party was held at the Phela Grande Convention Center and no less than former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos has been invited to be there, being Mommy Dionisia’s idol when she was just a struggling young mother trying hard to make both ends meet in her small shanty in Labangal, General Santos City.

Every Thing Has A Purpose

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there… to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesion or help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but you lock eyes with them, you know that every moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never realize your potential, strength, will power or heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck, illness, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test limits of your soul.
Without these small test, life would be a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but also because they are teaching you to love and open your eyes to the little things. Make everyday count. Appreciate everything that you possibly can, for you may never experience it again.
Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to.
Tell your self you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in your self, no one else will believe in you. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

Pacquaio VS. Hatton Fight
Round One
Hatton starts well for the first 30 seconds, stays outside, moving well (and keeping to the game plan) as Pacquiao appears to start slowly. Then Pacquiao launches an assault catching Hatton flush with a straight left hand. Then a right hook. Then he launches an all-out assault, twice sending Hatton to the canvas. The final minute of the round is torrid for the Mancunian, a rapid right hook as Pacquiao moved to his left catching Hatton on the chin sending him to the canvas. Hatton takes the count from referee Kenny Bayliss on one knee, rises, but is soon in trouble again, as a straight left floors him in front of his corner.
Round Two
Hatton looks composed, remarkably, at the start of the second stanza, beginning it with some success, knocking Pacquiao back, but is then warned by Bayliss not to hold and hit. Hatton lands with a left hook, and looks to be getting back into the contest but as the round ends Pacquiao enacts a punch of clinical brutality, felling Hatton flat onto his back, crumpling under a left hook which leaves him glazed and motionless. Hatton looked out before he landed on his back on the ground.
"I did not count," said Bayliss. "I called the fight over because Ricky was glazed in his eyes and was showing no motion to get back up." Promoter Bob Arum says immediately at ringside that Pacquiao can "go on to become the greatest pound for pound fighter of all time". Hatton is on the canvas motionless for three minutes, and walks out of the arena. He is immediately taken to hospital "on precautionary grounds".
"There's only one Ricky Hatton," goes the British fighter's anthem.
But there needed to be two, three or four Ricky Hattons in the ring on Saturday night to cope with the phenomenal Filipino Manny Pacquiao.
Pacman, as he is known back home in the Philippines, gobbled up the Hitman with an awesome array of punches at dazzling speed, and a final fearsome left hook.
Hatton crashed to the canvas with a second to go in the second round, never looking likely to beat the count.
'Shocked and gutted'
The Mancunian hero was later taken to hospital for a precautionary check-up.
It was a stunning ending to the fight and shocked the 20,000 or so Hatton fans who had ignored the economic hard times to travel to Las Vegas to see their hero.
Rob Melbourne, from London, was in the arena with his girlfriend Katie Audsley and he said: "We're shocked and gutted. I can't believe it happened."
But he added: "Total respect to Manny Pacquiao, he totally outclassed him."
Katie said: "I'm still pleased we came all the way out here because the atmosphere was amazing."
Neither of them wanted to see Hatton forced into retirement after such a performance and Katie said: "He has to go out with a win. He mustn't go out like that."
Tim Marshall, an expat who lives in Tokyo, said he felt Hatton looked tense beforehand while Pacquiao looked "super-relaxed".
'Just too quick'
He said: "After he was knocked down twice in the first round it was just a question of when and not if he lost."
For him there is a silver lining. "My wife Lori is Filipino. She's stayed at home with the kids but she will be very happy.
"Pacquiao has done the Philippines proud. The whole place comes to a standstill when he's fighting and the fight was shown live on TV there with thousands in the street."
As for Hatton, Tim thinks he needs to think long and hard about whether he should continue in the fight game after such a devastating defeat.
Bal Johal and his friends Surjit Rai and Gee Punia, all from London, were in despair.
Bal said: "We came over for the Malignaggi fight but this time we are so disappointed. There was 100% effort on Ricky's part but Pacquiao was just too quick."
Would it ruin their weekend, I asked.
"No. This is the party capital of the world. We knew Ricky was the underdog and we are still determined to enjoy the weekend," said Bal.
While thousands of British fans went off to drown their sorrows in the bars and fleshpots of Sin City, their Filipino counterparts prepared to party into the night.
Joseph Palmes had travelled all the way from South Cotabato - the same province where Pacquiao hails from - just for the fight and he was overjoyed.
"Nobody beats Pacman. He is the strongest and the fastest," he beamed.
So who next for the mighty Pacman?
Floyd Mayweather, the only man to have previously beaten Hatton, looms large on the horizon after he announced earlier in the day he was coming out of retirement to fight Juan Manuel Marquez in July.
At the press conference after the fight, promoter Bob Arum said: "If Mayweather wants to pick on a little Filipino, just be my guest."
Pacquiao-Mayweather would be another monster fight and there is little doubting who most of Ricky Hatton's fans will be rooting for.
In victory Pacquiao was as charismatic and humble as Mayweather was arrogant and insensitive.
It was two rounds of brutal action and a two round blowout for Filipino sensation Manny “The Pacman” Pacquiao as he walked through, around, and all over Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton (45-2 with 32 KOs). It was a crowning achievement for Pacquiao who became the first man to beat Hatton, until tonight the linear 140 lb champion, at that weight. The cherry on top? He did it easier and much quicker than Floyd Mayweather, Jr who has now returned to the game and is hoping to take on tonight’s winner. After seeing this performance, he may think twice about that.
Nothing is like a big fight in Vegas between tow seemingly evenly matched fighters and tonight was no different as the star rolled out in droves and the room was filled to the brim with Brits and Pinoys all cheering their man on and shaking the MGM Grand Garden Arena from the floor to the rafters.
Hatton came out to the ring first, looking serious and focused. The crowd went wild as he made his way to the ring. As he waited for the action to begin, Hatton began hitting his head with his own gloves and jumping up and down. Those seemed to be the only shots he landed tonight.
Pacquiao came out relaxed and smiling, taking in the crowd. Hatton’s fans went wild for their guy but Pacquiao’s fans took the volume to a whole other level. The roof about came off and my ears were ringing as Michael Buffer made his pre-fight introductions. As he got to his trademark line “the crowd joined him to say “LET’S GET READY TO RUUUUUUMBLLLLLLEEE!!!!!”
Both men looked ready and in shape, stretching, bouncing, and getting ready for that first bell. When it rang, both men came to center and the action was on. Hatton got his jab going but followed it with two clinches within the first 30 seconds.
Pacquiao stayed patient, timing Hatton and looking to land his shot. And he did with a right hook that caught Hatton flush and making him clinch again. Hatton worked in the clinch to the body and head. After the break, Hatton dug to the body but Pacquiao came right back with a jab, jab, left hand . A lead left caught Hatton and seemed to hurt Hatton who clinched again. Pacquiao came back with a right hook after that and began to open up as Hatton backed off. A searing right hook caught Hatton moments later and dropped him hard to the canvas. Hurt but full of heart, Hatton rose and Pacquiao went back to work. The crowd was deafening as Pacquiao landed shot after shot, looking to end things early. Pacquiao was landing it all as a one two from Pacquiao broke Hatton’s guard and dropped him again.
It was pure mayhem in the arena as even press row jumped to their feet at what they were seeing. Hatton rose slower this time and was clearly very hurt but still game as they traded to the bell.
In the second, Pacquiao came out aggressive but boxing patient and smart, gauging his foe and poking and prodding to see if a finish was there for the taking. Hatton attempted to bore in close the gap but Pacquiao’s educated feet and sharp jab kept him at bay. Time and again, Pacquiao would catch Hatton coming in wide open and it seemed a matter of time before the end. It would come quickly as Pacquiao seemingly opened up every punch in the arsenal. Left leads, quick right hooks off a step left move that he worked on in the gym. Hatton got in a right hand but the offense was all Pacquiao as he landed jab, left, jab, left and then again followed by a right hook that shook Hatton to his toes. Pacquiao landed two lead lefts as he got Hatton in the corner but the Manchester fighter circled out to center ring and the end of the fight as Pacquiao, stepping to his left dropped a bone chilling left hook that dropped Hatton on his back. He seemingly was out before he hit the ground. Referee Kenny Bayless stepped in, looked Hatton over and waved it off at 2:59 of the second. Easily knockout of the year and one of the most brutal and beautiful KO’s in memory period.
Afterward, a humble Pacquiao would say, “I mean, I am surprised that it was that easy, but the fighter fights hard. He is strong and has a lead hand. Our strategy was one punch: the left hook. Right hook. That was going to be key to this fight. In the first round, I expected my right hook was going to be dangerous for him. He was coming wide open and his hands were down.”
As for the future of the pound for pound king, “I can fight anybody. M promoters will handle that. I am just doing my job and training.”
Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach said “Everytime [Hatton] throws that hook and cocks it, he is wide open for a right hook from the southpaw stance. We worked on that in the gym every day and it worked beautifully. The winner of Marquez/Mayweather is a possibility. I think it would be great.”
Ricky Hatton's pound-for-pound dream has been wrecked inside two shocking rounds.
Manny Pacquiao put the Hitman down twice in the first before ending a one-sided contest with a chilling left hook one second from the end of the second.
It was such a bad knockout that Hatton was out before he hit the canvas and he needed treatment before finally 0 thankfully - getting to his feet.
Whether he climbs back into a boxing ring again, is doubtful.
Hatton did no interviews, had to be helped from the ring and was surely headed for hospital. And possible retirement.
When his head clears he will realise that the performance was a complete and utter disaster. He came to Vegas dreaming of being crowned the best boxer on the planet. He will leave after an absolute nightmare.
At least it was a short one. Freddie Roach's initial three-round prediction was not far off the mark in the end. Pacquiao's trainer also said it was too late for the Hitman to change his style - and that was just as accurate.
Ferocious
In six ferocious minutes of action, there was no sign of any boxing skills, no head movement, no cunning whatsover as he tried to close the gap and take Pacquiao on on the inside.
Instead it was the Hatton of old. Walking straight forward, square on and, as he did even on that fateful night when he forced Kostya Tszyu to quit, taking way too many shots.
Reports of a rift with trainer Floyd Mayweather Snr on the eve of the biggest fight of his life can't have helped. If there had been problems - and in five minutes 59 seconds Hatton did little to dispel the rumours - they were cruelly exposed by the Filipino phenomenon, who now stands alone at the top of boxing's tree.
Hatton's plan to chop him down had been based on getting in close and in the very first clinch of the fight, he did get two sneaky shots in on the inside. But Pac Man hadn't even begun to fight.
A few seconds later and he was in the swing, catching his man with a right and even when he was pinned on the ropes, he slipped out untroubled.
Knowing his speed would keep him clear of any one-dimensional danger, he was then able to stand his ground in the face of thoughtless attacks and let his own fists fly.
Stunned
A left-right-left combination soon had Hatton cowering, then a huge right hook, signalled the beginning of the end.
Down Hatton went, stunned, but got back to his feet at eight. It was no flash knockdown, no lucky counter, no fluke. It was speed, timing, power; everything a boxer craves, everthing Hatton had promised - and it was to be repeated.
The next time he stuttered forward, a straight left repeated the punishment and had the Hitman on his back again with 55 seconds of the first round still remaining.
Juan Manuel Marquez might have survived three first-round knockdowns against Pacquiao five years ago, but even though Hatton got up again and held on for the ball, this was so patently different. Pacquiao had, as promised brought plenty power up to 140lbs to match his pace.
Hatton did at least catch his man at the start of the second, but still he was hunting in straight lines, not using, never mind moving his head. Soon enough another left landed and sent his head rocking back, while Pac Man let loose three or four-punch combinations and stepped out of range as Hatton lunged forward.
It was all too familiar and although he managed to mess Pac Man up for the next chunk, Bayless warned him for a low blow and roughing on the inside as desperation took over far sooner than anyone had dared fear.
Horrendously
How he made it to within a whisker of the end of the session perhaps only Pacquiao can answer, but just as the seconds were getting ready, the Hatton dream was ruined. Absolutely, unequivocally and, as fiancee Jennifer's piercing ringside scream will testify, horrendously.
This time he didn't even walk onto the shot. Almost casually, Pac Man prodded out half a jab before unleashing a lightning fast left hook flush to the chin. Hatton toppled to his left, smacked the canvas hard and did not even need a count.
He did need extensive treatment and he will now need a serious assessment of just where to go next.
Pacquiao, in contrast, can look forward to the winner of Floyd Mayweather Jnr and Marquez later this year.
On this chlling evidence, he can do so with supreme confidence. Boxing has a new pound-for-pound king. And sadly, he was a class above the same old Ricky Hatton.

What you need to know about the new swine flu?

As the new swine flu spreads, people have lots of questions about how it affects their day-to-day life. Here are some answers.
Q: How easy is it to catch this virus?
A: It's spreading as easily as regular winter flu, which infects millions each year. Early estimates are that 25 percent to 30 percent of family members are getting sick once a relative brings it home.
Q: How dangerous is it?
A: Nobody knows yet. Genetically, it doesn't share the same traits that made the infamous 1918 pandemic so deadly, nor does it seem as virulent as the bird flu that scientists have tracked for several years. While Mexico reported many deaths, the virus is causing less severe illness in the U.S. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says most cases so far haven't needed medical attention.
Q: Could I have some immunity?
A: Since it's a never-before-seen mix of mostly pig but also human and bird viruses, the CDC has cautioned that's unlikely. But it is a member of the H1N1 family of flu viruses, which circulate widely. Flu specialist John Treanor at the University of Rochester says people born before 1957 spent their childhood repeatedly exposed to H1 viruses. So experts are withholding final judgment on that question.
Q: Is it treatable?
A: Yes, with the standard anti-flu drugs Tamiflu and Relenza. They lessen symptoms if taken within 48 hours of the first symptoms.
Q: Is there a vaccine?
A: No. The government is working to develop one and the earliest shots could roll out would be in the fall, if authorities decide the virus remains enough of a threat to offer those shots. Manufacturers are preparing regular flu shots for the fall, when routine influenza strains will start circulating regardless of swine flu.
Q: Why does CDC stress hand-washing?
A: Flu viruses do spread through the air, so cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or by sneezing into your elbow rather than your hand. But flu also can spread by touching your mouth or nose with unwashed hands. The viruses can live on surfaces such as doorknobs or handrails for a few hours, or be passed by a handshake.
Q: Do hand gels work better?
A: No, they're just an alternative, says Dr. Richard Besser, the CDC's acting chief. He keeps a bottle in his pocket. The bigger issue is to wash hands well enough to get rid of germs. Sing "Happy Birthday" or "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" to know you've scrubbed long enough, he advises.
Q: How long do I have to worry if I just got back from Mexico?
A: The incubation period is two days to seven days, regardless of where you were exposed.
Q: How long should I stay home if I get the flu?
A: Certainly call your doctor about bad symptoms or if you're at all worried, especially if you have any chronic condition, such as asthma, that makes you more susceptible to any kind of flu. But other than going out for medical care, stay home for seven days or for one day after symptoms end. The CDC also says family members should consider staying home or decreasing their contact with others in case they're incubating the infections.
Q: Why are so many schools closing?
A: It's not clear just how much good school closings do in slowing flu's spread. It doesn't help much if kids then gather at the mall or a friend's house or day care. But because children spread all kinds of viruses easily — they don't wash as well, have close contact in crowded classes, and sometimes are contagious for a few days longer than adults — the CDC has advised schools with cases to consider closing for at least 14 days.
Q: Can pets get sick?
A: Besser says there's no evidence that this flu affects anyone other than humans.
Q: Can flu spread on imported fruits and vegetables from Mexico?
A: No. It doesn't spread through any food, including pork.
Q: Is it safe to fly? How about the subway?
A: Yes, the CDC says. Just don't travel if you're sick — stay home.
Q: Do I need a mask in crowded areas?
A: The CDC hasn't yet recommended that anyone other than health workers use masks.
Q: Why hasn't the U.S. closed the border with Mexico?
A: By the time authorities detected the new virus, it already had spread here. That makes closing the border moot, the Obama administration says.
Q: I have a summer trip planned to a state with lots of cases. Should I cancel?
A: Not yet, just stay tuned, Besser advises. Doctors should know much more about this flu by then.
Q: Why did the government quit using the name "swine flu" this past week?
A: Because of concern that people thought they might catch the virus from pigs or pork — which is wrong. It is spread person to person.

My Crazy Sis
My sister now based in Singapore have been planning to come home together with her peers in the office. They were actually thinking of coming over to Davao to climb the legendary Mount Apo.
Is she going nuts?
What have gotten into her?
Now before she left for the airport she called me and asked for help about the things they will be bringing going there in Mount Apo. What am I suddenly a findme.com now?
For Christ sake, can she spare me of her craziness. Nevertheless despite my blah blah blah, I still took a piece of my time checking the web.
I came across this site that says that they are an expert of Camping Gear and camping tools of sorts and also they are selling so I sent her an SMS of the site about that camping gear thing. Good thing because 3 of her friends will still be coming from the US, and they are expected to come a week later so they can probably do the tasks for me... jejejeje, nice thinking huh'?....

Profession : Certified Ethical Hacker
The world is constantly changing some on a paced slower than the others and some may be on a fast pace. But one thing though is definite. It is changing.
The world of internet is a wide complex world and apparently the changes has becoming fast. Before we get terrified on the sound of the word HACKER, as he/she could be the most dangerous person in the world.
Today, what used to be negatively prejudiced in the world of internet has apparently become one of the most intriguing profession in the world. Certified Ethical Hacking, what about it?
The efforts of the EC-Council to put an end to the criminal hackers untiringly hacking the system of various companies around the globe has created these new armies in the internet the - Certified Ethical Hacker
An ethical hacker is a computer and network expert who attacks a security system on behalf of its owners, seeking vulnerabilities that a malicious hacker or intruder could exploit. To test a security system, ethical hackers use the same methods as their less principled counterparts, but report problems instead of taking advantage of them.Ethical hacking is also known as penetration testing, intrusion testing, and red teaming. But whatever it is called the bottom line is still enhancing the kind of IT Security system we are currently having at this point in time to create a better E Commerce.

Dealing With Retrogression: Strategies and Solutions
The following comments have recently been heard from healthcare facilities and staffing agencies:
“We have put our nurse recruitment program and all immigration filings for nurses on hold until retrogression lifts.”
“We can’t do anything to get the nurses into the United States until retrogression lifts.”
“We just don’t want to spend money recruiting nurses and filing their immigration cases until retrogression lifts and we can see some results.”
With the current unavailability of the EB-3 immigrant visa quota for nurses through September 30, 2008 and with an expected quota cutoff date of 2006 to be re-established at the start of the next fiscal year on October 1st, these comments are certainly understandable. However, these comments are the result of certain misconceptions and are counterproductive.
Retrogression affects only the ability of the nurse to complete the second step of the immigration process, i.e., the interview at the US embassy or consulate and arrival into the US.
Recruiting of nurses should continue and the first step of filing the Schedule A I-140 immigrant visa petition can and should be done as soon as the nurse has been recruited and a job offer has been accepted. This first step in the immigration legal process is NOT affected by retrogression.
By doing so as soon as possible, a place in the immigrant visa quota waiting line is established (priority date). This will place the employer and the nurse ahead of the competition and give them a running start for when retrogression finally lifts.
We remain confident that retrogression will eventually lift. Our confidence is based on several reasons. First, a healthcare system can not operate effectively without an appropriate number of nurses. Historically, the government has periodically addressed the shortage of nurses in the past, most recently with the recapture of 50,000 immigrant visas in 2005. Finally, as we have commented for the past several months, there is pending legislation that addresses the nurse shortage and the unreasonably long immigrant visa waiting times.
The consequences of not continuing to file Schedule A immigrant visa cases during retrogression are counterproductive and not in the best interest of the employer or the nurse. When retrogression lifts, the employer and the nurse will be further behind the competition.
Huge backlogs of already approved immigrant visa petitions have been forming during retrogression as most employers continue to recruit foreign nurses and file the first step in the immigration legal process. Even after retrogression lifts, it will take a substantial period of time for the government to clear the backlog that is increasing daily. In addition, by waiting to recruit and file, the employer opens itself up to the risks of more restrictive laws being enacted, government fees increasing and processing times increasing.
There are some temporary solutions that can be pursued and implemented while waiting for retrogression to lift, as we have discussed in previous articles. Canadian and Mexican citizen nurses can obtain TNs under NAFTA in order to enter and work in the US sooner. Other occupations eligible for TN classification are: Physicians, Pharmacists, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Medical Lab Techs. A proposed regulation, if enacted, will increase the initial entry and extension periods from 1 to 3 years for TNs.
H-1B visas may be available in certain very limited circumstances where the employer is exempt from the H-1B quota, i.e., advanced practice nurses, positions involving very complex job duties and teaching and managerial nurses. Finally, E-3 visas may be available to Australian citizen nurses under the same criteria as H-1B visas but without the current quota problem.
In summary, it is strongly advised that health care facilities and staffing agencies continue to recruit nurses and file Schedule A immigrant visa petitions during retrogression in order to best position themselves and the nurses they hire for when retrogression lifts. In addition, consider taking advantage of the temporary solutions suggested above.
