Fill Your Nursing Shortage By Implementing A Foreign Nursing Program

How to save a Million Dollars a year!!!

Looking into 2006 and staffing, a good time to look at numbers:

Many medical facilities are trying to look at ways to cut costs in the New Year. Trying to keep your facility staffed as well as cut costs is a delicate balancing act for many. For HR and recruitment decision makers look into 2006 it is often a scary scenario.

The nursing shortage, along with an aging population and mandated staff-to-patient ratios, has created significant staffing challenges for healthcare organizations throughout the country.

The question of whether to institute a foreign nurse program:
It is estimated that the nurse shortage in the USA will increase to 1 million in the next 7 years. With financial challenges at the nursing schools we are not even close to educating enough nurses within our current system.

The shortage is expected to intensify as the baby boomers move through the system. Now could be the time to institute a foreign nurse program. One of the reasons this kind of program is extremely effective is the ability to get a commitment from these nurses for a period of 2 or 3 years because a facility ‘sponsors' them through the INS and receives this commitment from the foreign nurse in lieu of the facility's commitment to see this process through with them. Because of the length of time of the contract, if the facility treats the nurse decently, a high percentage of these nurses stay on after their contract has expired because they have made their ‘Big Move' and would prefer not to move again.
