I wish I had known about this program before!

Hey all,

I am an International RN working in the USA. I emigrated from the UK via one of those popular international global healthcare staffing corporations. While it was a good way to get to the USA and I am grateful for the opportunity to do so, if I could do it all over again, I would! 

I didn't know about the program or opportunity at the time, but now that I am aware of it, I want you lovely international nurses to know that you have more options than what we think is out there!

I started working for Advent Health in February this year. I actually didn't join Advent Health BECAUSE its Advent Health - I chose to work with them because they are a local and convenient place to go to work based on where I live now. However, if I could immigrate all over again, I would go through Advent Health. 

Advent Health offers an international recruitment program for nurses that requires a three-year contract (much like all of these other programs). However, the difference is, you will be working DIRECTLY for the hospital rather than working for a staffing company who contracts with the hospital! You would be eligible for all the benefits, extra pay, and bonuses that the full-time employees get rather than being separate and "not really" a true employee of the hospital you're working for. 

I'm not doing this to get a bonus. I don't get paid to share this information. That being said, I COULD get a bonus if my name is put on your application but I'm not doing it for that reason. I want y'all to know that there are OTHER options if you are considering moving to the USA. 

For more info, go to www.adventhealth.com/careers/international-recruitment

Right now, they are hiring in these states:

-Florida
-Georgia
-Illinois
-Kansas
-Kentucky
-North Carolina
-Texas
-Wisconsin

Good luck!!

Thank you for sharing this! Do you know if they are sponsoring international nurses with H1B or Green card? And do they sponsor nationalities that does not have a current priority date?
