Gov. Susana Martinez looks to recruit nurses from other states

Martinez: Health reform puts stress on medical staffing in rural areas

Published 7:57 PM MST Dec 03, 2013

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —New Mexico is now looking to other states to recruit nurses.

Officials said health care reform means more people are seeking health care, and nearby states could have the manpower the Land of Enchantment needs.

“It’s not just Oklahoma,” said Gov. Susana Martinez. “We are going to be proposing $220,000 for advertisement for various states.”

Martinez will ask lawmakers for that money in 2014. She wants to recruit nurse practitioners and tell them they can do more if they work in New Mexico.

Some doctors suggest there are New Mexicans who want to be nurse practitioners, but educators don’t have the space to train them.

1. Title V - Healthcare Workforce in the ACA includes a broad range of provisions for

strengthening and expanding the nursing profession.

2. Question:

Is Gov Martinez a Republican or a Democrat? ?

[Voice for Peace]

5. Republican

however she did expand Medicare for NM unlike
most of the R Govs

[ReRe]

8. Expanded Medicaid...

... but didn't do the state sign up for ACA. There is no whiner like a Republican whiner, is there? I bet you me and my sister could go to NM and find those nurses for the Gov, right there in NM. First place to start would be NM's nursing schools. How many nurses will graduate at end of this month? How many in Spring 2014? And I bet you unemployed nurses are crawling out of the woodwork too, right there in NM, after hearing this news.
I bet you she has no complaint at all!

9. um.. I'm not quite following

NM is hooked into ACA.. I was just there a few minutes
ago.

As far as the nurses.. yes that looks pretty sketchy
but I'm not well informed.

[ReRe]

10. I believe that Medicaid

is expanded separately, without setting up a website for ACA. Many Republican governors chose this route, to get the money, but did not set up a website. There's something like 36 states who chose not to set up a website for ACA, preferring their citizens go to the federal HealthCare.gov website. If I'm wrong, please someone who knows for sure, correct me.

11. does this make sense?

Health Insurance Marketplace in New Mexico

If you live in New Mexico, BeWellNM is the Health Insurance Marketplace to serve you. The BeWellNM website can give you information on local events and resources available in your state, including application assistance. For Open Enrollment this year, instead of the BeWellNM website, you’ll use HealthCare.gov to apply and enroll. Small businesses: Apply for SHOP coverage using New Mexico’s SHOP Marketplace.

3. Another republican who refuses to address long term challenges. She's a failure!

Rather than assist on the education of new nurses, even if it means expanding nursing programs OR build new ones, she's opts to take them from other states.

How Rick Perry of her, how republican...

4. Looks like some jobs will be created out of the ACA, on the other hand. nt

6. Legalize cannabis and you won't need so many nurses......

...or doctors. Or hospitals. Hmmm.

- But then that's the reason you won't propose to legalize cannabis, isn't it?
