Welcome to Columbus, Ghanan nurses



Columbus , Ohio, Mayor Andrew J. Ginther has signed a formal agreement with Ghana to create legal, structured pathways for Ghanaian-trained nurses to work in Ohio’s healthcare system
(theheraldghana.com), BTW we have 4 major health systems here--Trinity, OSU, Nationwide Childrens and OhioHealth with 4 or 5 smaller ones.

 If the mayor did it, then it's tax payer dollars. I looked up the price tag for nurses in general for Columbus metro area and it's already $20,000 below the national median whether entry or higher level. Columbus is Democrat run and locked down, top to bottom, and claiming that they will give mid-Ohio a better deal if we just vote Democrat. Counting Ohio State we already have 9 nursing schools here, and supposedly these immigrants are already trained and ready to go. I'm sure they have family for chain migration (U.S. federal law). If housing is tight for low income and non-whites, how does importing Ghanans help the economy and Columbus people hoping to move up through more education and good job opportunities? Can they really do a better, safer job than our home grown whom we've already paid to educate and acculturate?
