I have a lot contacts of foriegn registered nurses, and I would like to be the recruiter to hire them for US hospitals. I dont know where to start, any suggestions for me? my email is francisray2010 at yahoo
The Nurses I am working with are from the Philippines. Very Competent, qualified, hard working, and speak/write very good English, they go through all the certification process, more so than Americans, like Intl Nurses License, English Testing, NClex-RN. Historically, the Philippines have a very high passing rate in the US Nursing board. They dont complain about job situations, stick to the job for years, and satisfied of what they have. Unlike in the US, where you need only need 2 years, to be eligible to take Local nurse board Exam. Philippine nurses need to complete a 4 year BSN degree before they are allowed to take the Local nursing board. So as far as credentials are concerened there is no questions to thier equivanlency, or even much more.

Typically, hospitals that hire foreign nurses first hire them as nursing assistants until they have passed their RN exam in the U.S.; then they get promoted to nurses.
Basically, to run this business, you need two things: (1) a list of hospitals interested in hiring nurses (which is almost the same thing as a list of every hospital in the country), and (2) a good immigration attorney. Initial paperwork (H-1B visa) will cost you about $1,500 in government filing fees, plus attorney fees (which can range from $1,000 to $3,000, often without any relationship to the quality of work; more expensive attorneys are not necessarily better).
