Qualified Internationally Trained Nurses
We are happy to connect qualified foreign healthcare workers with willing and able U.S. employers to curb the deepening staffing crisis in healthcare in this country. The baby boomers (born post WWII between 1946 and 1964) began reaching 65 years of age in 2011. “By 2030, more than 20 percent of U.S. residents are projected to be aged 65 and over, compared with 13 percent in 2010 and 9.8 percent in 1970.” (2012 US Census). In actual numerical terms, in 2015 about 48 million seniors (65 years and older) existed in the United States. By 2030, that is estimated to nearly double to 73 million, according to an HRSA study. As a result, the US will need to train one million new nurses by as early as 2022 to meet the healthcare demands of this exploding population, and even more by 2030.
However, in the face of this growing demand, nursing schools in the United States are unable to meet the challenge to contain the crisis for a couple of reasons. First, Nursing schools are unable to attract enough instructors for all the nursing student applicants. There are currently 1,600 vacant positions for nursing school teachers around the country because qualified nursing teachers prefer to practice as it pays more than teaching. Second, most schools lack the space for clinical facilities to accommodate additional students.
A natural solution is the recruitment of qualified internationally trained nurses to fill in the gap. Foreign nurses are required to have academic credentials equivalent to those of U.S. trained nurses. They are also required to take and pass the same licensure examination (NCLEX) as U.S. nurses as well IELTS or TOFEL as proof of their proficiency in English. The cute accents are just a bonus! If a capable and caring workforce is your need, relax, we got you.
