兩條關於美國和大紐約地區高薪超募非常時期醫護的消息。
頭一條來自中文推特上的一條快訊: 快訊:美國向全球醫務人員撒簽證。 有意來美國工作的醫生護士可聯繫附近美國領事館取得簽證,跳過史上最難美國醫考,少奮鬥十年直接上崗! 這將意味着更容易獲得綠卡。 據說有人已經去美領館得到證實。 建議有興趣的人還是去電證實一下。

第二條:受疫情需要, 大紐約地區急需三千名護士。各大醫院高薪聘請護士:$100/小時,包吃,管送。。。 據說已經有人從美國南方連夜北上了。詳情請看下面的鏈接:

For-hire nurses get big bucks to work in NYC during coronavirus outbreak

Hundreds of nurses are pouring into New York City from across
the country drawn by a desire to save lives — and paychecks reaching
$100 an hour. Michael Fazio, the head of the Prime Staffing agency, said he was
trying to fill 3,000 nursing slots for New York-Presbyterian, Mount
Sinai, NYU Langone and Bellevue, along with hospitals in New Jersey. “They’re all crisis needs. We’re just trying to get them the
support,” he said. “The focus right now is in the emergency department
and ICU.” The hospitals have upped their pay rates, with the most experienced nurses getting top dollar. Fazio said some of the nurses are tripling their salaries. “I spoke to some nurses in the south. Their hourly rate was like $29
an hour. They’re literally saying ‘Man, I gotta do it for my own
family.’ One woman said to me, ‘I’ve got a kid going to college. I’m
coming!’ “ Fazio said. To sweeten the offers, Fazio’s agency will send breakfasts and
lunches to the nurses, arrange grocery deliveries and provide car
services to take them to work. He offers housing stipends or puts the
nurses up in hotels. The state has ordered hospitals to increase capacity — which requires
increased staffing — and has relaxed rules for nurses who don’t need a
New York license to practice here during the deadly outbreak. “This is an unprecedented public health crisis, and our hospitals
will spare no effort to ensure they have the staff they need to care for
their patients,” said Brian Conway, a spokesman for the Greater New
York Hospital Association.

Gina Rao, a 34-year-old from Miami, said she drove 24 hours straight
to get to New Jersey where she is working in the ICU at University
Hospital in Newark. She left her two kids in Florida and gave up a full-time job paying
$36.75 an hour. She said she is earning nearly triple that here for a
13-week assignment. Rao said she was not afraid to pitch in despite reports of hospitals being flooded with seriously ill patients and nurses sounding alarms about a lack of proper protective equipment. “I really and truly want to help,” she said. “Why would we be scared
to go out there and help when it’s what we signed up to do.” Jessica Gonzalez, 32, came to Manhattan a year ago from Philadelphia
to work as a contract nurse at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University
Medical Center and was ready to return home before the outbreak began. She decided not to leave, and got a pay increase bringing her salary to almost $100 an hour as an ICU nurse. “As long as there’s a crisis, I’m staying,” she said. “Morally I feel
like I just have to help because I’m fully capable of helping.”
