These witnesses of Black Sunday and much of the other suffering of the Dust-Bowl years are now old men and women, and Burns, as he has in other documentaries, makes good use of these ordinary folk. He is a sort of Studs Terkel of documentarians.
VA Hospital - nursing program. I currently work for a VA Hospital (Veterans Administration - government hospital - best care anywhere!!). They have an interesting program to become an RN. They will pay FULL SALARY of a current employee, and they will pay for the program cost. All you need to do is commit to be a VA nurse.
In 2012, for example, the VA advertised for a nurse practitioner to manage the renal transplant program at a VA hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. The salary range for the position was listed as between $64,411.00 to $110,323 per year.
