Here's one for the ethics committee: USA Today reports that, faced with a nationwide shortage of health care workers, health care providers are launching recruiting efforts in Mississipi, Alabama, and Louisiana. Hospitals and recruiters are running ads in local papers offering health care workers new jobs in areas far removed from the disaster. Some of the job offers -- particularly those targeting nurses -- are temporary. Others are permanent. How real is this trend? That remains to be seen. As a single newspaper article may not tell whole story.
