Foreign-educated registered nurses welcomed to the U.S. in the first quarter of 2022 are beginning their employment in 31 states, according to a May 5 news release from healthcare staffing firm Health Carousel.
The nurses are working at U.S. healthcare facilities from Hawaii to Maine.
"It's such a joy to be a partner to someone in coming to America, supporting them as they begin employment, and watching them grow in their careers here," Katie Glaser, senior vice president of Health Carousel International, a division of Cincinnati-based Health Carousel, said in the release. "They also become an important part of the fabric of their new communities and advance in their careers into nursing leadership roles and nursing faculty, get involved in their local schools, volunteer opportunities and other community programs."
Health Carousel said the firm historically has assisted nurses and other healthcare professionals from the Philippines, United Arab Emirates, South Korea, India and other countries who want to practice in the U.S. This assistance is related to educational, clinical and immigration preparation, as well as study programs, testing and visa support.
How many are being used to care for illegal aliens (at the stupid gringo’s expense of course.)
How many quit because of COVID vaccine mandates?
Logan’s Run! Great movie in its day. I have been trying to find Soilent (sp?) Green at the library. Not there.
“An RN can pretty much write their ticket. And a lot of RNs who were unmarried/no kids became “Traveler” nurses…and the money was just crazy.”
One of our GD’s just was graduated from a top RN school in 4 years versus the 7 year with liberal BS courses.
She had worked as a tech in a Covid Ward at a major east coast hospital for her last 2 summers and weekends.
She got paid well and got full benefits including a 401 K.
She passed the national RN test and was hired as an official RN at the same hospital this fall. Her hourly pay was doubled when she became an RN.
They just promoted her to the head night shift RN for the Covid ICU and regular ICU for 3 ~ 12 mid to 8 shifts in a week. She needs to do ER to be able to do the travel RN jobs.
Most of those Nurses fulfilled their contracts years ago and moved on. The Philippines keeps churning them out though. Honestly, those Nurses were competent and usually very nice.
Do really want a nurse who’s first language is NOT English giving you meds or injection or adjusting your IV?
So will I, especially Filipina.
thank you...
thank you very much... 😎

I've had similar experience.
