Suzanne, You are truly a super moderator, thank you kindly for that helpful information. I'm also trained in law, so I can pretty much do contracts as I do understand contract law, etc, but I will get it looked at by a real lawyer first. I'll keep you posted as how I'm fairing on with this, hurdles, my country policies, etc. God bless, socks

Dear Suzanne, After carefully weighing my options, I would like to start a nurse recruiting agency in my country as there are very many nurses, doctors, etc here that want to work in the U.S. for better working conditions and for better pay. I don't like what I have encountered in that people have conned them. I would like to start a straight forward agency. Do you have any suggestions as to what I should do as far as would my agency be registered in the U.S. in order for me to source for hospitals there? I have lived in the U.S. for over 20 years and I'm familiar with labor laws, and a few immigration laws, but not when it comes to helping these nurses find jobs. If you have any sites with some information for me to read, ideas, how contracts would work between me and the nurses and hospitals I would be recruiting for, etc. It is not a good idea to charge them a fee in advance and I would not want to do that, but how would I get paid for my services? Could I ask them for some fees to cover my time and internet cyber fees? If so, how much would be a reasonable fee? If this is not the right place for these questions, I apologize in advance, please direct me. Just looking for information, I'm in the dark, can you "turn on some lights".? Socks :roll

Hey, Suzanne, Thanks alot for this detailed infor, do you have a sample of any contract at least so we can see what pitfalls or traps the agency may have? I'm a nurse who is looking to move to the U.S. hopefully this year with my family.

Dear Suzanne, Thanks for that warm welcome. I have attended all these classes, passed TOEFL, NCLEX, and now I don't know where to start. Please help. Thanks for that advice also about paying recruiters. Socks

Helo to everyone. I'm new to the forum. I'm a registered nurse in Kenya with over five years experience in all around nursing. I'm interested in migrating to the United States along with my family this year. I have all my certifications. I believe that this will give me exposure and also offer me better working conditions and better pay for quality work. Does anyone know how I can go about this? I'm tempted to pay a recruiting agency, but they want money up-front. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Socks
