NEW YORK (AP) -- An advertisement for a nursing position has created a storm of outrage over one of its job criteria - no Haitians.
The ad, in the Oct. 15 print New City edition of the weekly Pennysaver, said Interim Healthcare Inc. was looking for a female nurse for a job in West Haverstraw, in Rockland County. It said: "Laid back nurse, no Haitians" and required that candidates also have state certifications.
Interim, an in-home nursing provider, issued a statement from President Kalthleen McNally on its Facebook page and website, saying the ad is "totally unacceptable and is offensive to us." She said a review would be conducted to look at what happened and make sure that it didn't happen again.
"Please accept our sincere apology. In particular, we apologize to the entire Haitian community,"
