Avant Healthcare

[smgrn]

I was wondering if anybody has signed up with AVANT HEALTHCARE PROFFESIONALS, a USA based agency for NURSES and PTs, which currently sponsors NCLEX-passers. Any updates with your application?

I have started this thread thinking we could update on the process that you are undergoing since US visa bulletin is fast moving.

For those who signed up with AVANT, please. Share your experience with them here.

Thank you!

Hello! They emailed me already. However, I will be doing the competency exam again. Would you know how many items for this exam?

No item man. Just to to prepare and aim for high score. 80% and above

Hello! How are you with the process? I'm done with the Medical Surgical exam and just got 70%. I'm afraid that I will not qualified with their program. I'm just wondering why my interview was take placed first before the competency exam,

So what do you guys think, overall, about Avant? They seemed good people to me...

Hi guys,

Does anyone know if Avant accepts nurses with nursing home experience? I have been an ICU nurse for 10 years but will be transferring to work in a care facility next year. I halted my application (didn't proceed with the assessment exam) for now because I am worried of the possibility that they would just decline me later.

Has anyone breached a contract with Avant? What breach fees did you pay?

Avant is OK.

(1) Their contracts are one-sided. You have practically no bargaining power to negotiate the initial terms of the contract. It's take-it-or-leave-it. This is probably a standard problem in this industry. Still, I expected better. A little moral leadership in this industry is sorely lacking.

(2) Breach fees aren't actually stated in the contract. And they won't do it. It's all vague "you'll be responsible for all costs etc." I mean, what does that even mean? They should calculate that beforehand so the other person has a reasonable idea of the terms of the contract.

(3) Their correspondence can be maddeningly standardized at times. It seems like they send the same emails to everyone. Frequently, I'd read an email from Avant only to realize that little of it applied to me. And the people involved in my case weren't always, you know, familiar with the basic details of my case. These weren't major problems; an email reply would clear things up. But come on. This is my life here. You guys have to be more careful, you know?

(4) Training was pretty good. They send you out on a three-week boot camp of sorts. The accommodations are fine and it's all within walking distance of a Wal-mart. It's cool to meet people from the program who have traveled here from all over the world.

(5) Immigration issues were handled expertly. That's the important part, right? I've got a green card thanks to them.

What part of the agreement did you break and what are the reasons for breeching them

I have not breached the contract. This is more of a question about other people's experciences. Like, if they quit their jobs, what breach fees did Avant want them to pay?
