American Association of Foreign Educated Nurses

A lot of nurses have had bad experiences with nurse recruiters. Is there anyone who was happy with their recruiter, and can recommend them?

I guess we're alone here on this thread hehe. Just dropping by. Probably, we can search for employers on the net.

I'm surprised that there hasn't been any comments here!

From the data I've seen, it appears that a majority of international nurses opt to work directly with a hospital. Unfortunately, immigration is a complicated matter. Working through a recruiter should simplify and speed up the process.

Many nurses I've spoken to are hesitant to work with a nurse recruiter. There is an issue of trust. While there are many good nurse recruiters, there are some "bad apples." One problem could be due to the selay in the visas. I know of over 40 recruiters that have gone out of business since retrogression began.

I'm a nurse. I passed my Nclex and Toefle. But I find it difficult to find a good recruiter.
When I send a e-mail with all my information they promise me to mail me but it takes weeks!!
In fact the nurse recruiter I visit personally in Florida offerd me 5 jobs ON THE SPOT. (she had power of attorney to sign!)
But than I ask for time to go back home and speak with my husband on the matter. When I mailed her and told her wich of the offers we wanted to take she never reply!! I called her. Spoke with her. And she still never reply!

I tried a next recruiter that looked positive until I sended in my application because they are scared of me because I have a master in nursing and to much managerial experience.

Now I mailed the 3th recruiter but other than one phonecall I haven't hear from them in weeks! I passed the Nclex in august and still don't have a reliable recruiter. HELP

The difference between Agency and Direct Hire can be a confusing one, especially if you are utilizing the services of a recruitment company. You can be hired directly by a hospital, and also use the support and knowledge base of an experienced recruitment company.

A "Direct Hire" is when you are hired, sponsored and employed directly by a specific hospital. You will sign an agreement with that hospital and become a direct employee, just a nurse that is recruited domestically. You will know exactly what hospital you will be working in and often the specific unit or ward. Contracts are typically three years in length and you would receive all of the benefits of other hospital employees.

An "Agency"hire is when you are hired, sponsored and employed by an employment agency in the US. The agency will have agreements with hospitals throughout the United States and when you arrive, they will place you on a long term assignment within one of their client hospitals. When you sign a job offer with an agency, you will not be guaranteed a specific location. You can request that you are paced in a certain state, city or hospital, but that can not be confirmed until closer to your arrival date. Contracts are shorter in length then direct hire (usually 18-24 months) and you will be entitled to all the same benefits as any other nurse working for that agency.

However, please do not confuse an agency with a recruitment company. A recruitment company is a company, like Adevia, that will assist you with meeting all of the requirements of working in the USA, finding an employer (direct hire or agency) and immigrating to the USA. Recruitment companies do not hire nurses, but assist them with finding a suitable employer.

I hope this helps & you can find more information on our website www.adevia.com or by calling +44 (0) 870 0330 500.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any more questions.
