petition for rule-making to amend regulation 18VAC90-19-130 Section D1
 

I support this petition because: 

1.  This will create undue stress and is discrimination against our foreign nurses.  As this would also be a form of segregation.

2.  I believe work environments should be all inclusive and culturally diverse. There should be no differentiation between Foreign Nurse Graduate and Registered Nurse Applicant because all nurses owe the same duties to self and others. This petition goes against so many portions of the ANA (Code of Ethics).  e.g. the dignity of our foreign nurses, human rights, and discrimination, etc.

Just my 2 cents.... 

Thank you
