2. With aging populations and the rise in chronic diseases, health systems everywhere are under strain.
3. Healthcare facilities have been turning to international nurses for decades. International nurses do not take jobs away from domestic nurses; they simply supplement your current staff and provide care and comfort to your patients.

Global Nurse Force has placed thousands of English-speaking nurses with healthcare facilities throughout the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada & Australia.

We are licensed by Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India and have a steady pipeline of highly skilled nurses looking to live and work overseas.

Each of our nurses is carefully pre-screened, fluent in English, has excellent references, outstanding clinical skills and is flexible and adaptable.

If your facility is considering international recruitment, you will come across two very different models:

Direct Hire

Once the international nurse arrives at your facility, he/she becomes your permanent employee and receives the same salary and benefits as your regular nursing staff.

Contract Hire

The international nurse is employed by a staffing agency that contracts their services to your facility. Agencies usually charge hefty fees which can increase your staffing expenditure substantially.

At Global Nurse Force, we believe your nurse staffing crisis can be solved by placing permanent, international nurses at your facility. We believe these direct-hire nurses can deliver more consistent quality of care for your patients and reduce your overall spend on recruitment.

1. International nurse recruitment solves the nursing supply and demand issues that exist domestically.
2. Permanent, international nurses can provide stability to your nursing workforce that results in greater continuity of care, optimal patient outcomes and higher levels of patient satisfaction.
3. International nurses can also reduce your facility’s dependence on expensive contingent staff.

We provide a turnkey recruiting solution for healthcare facilities, starting with the sourcing and screening of international nurses from India and around the world, facilitation of the hiring process, management of immigration paperwork, candidate credentialing, licensure and coordination of the relocation process. We provide these services for a flat fee per applicant.

Global Nurse Force manages the immigration process for all the nurses you hire. All applicants arrive at your facility with proper work visas and necessary immigration documents.

Global Nurse Force works with each candidate to ensure they have completed their English language, credentialing and licensure requirements for the country/state of intended employment.

Global Nurse Force works closely with clients to coordinate the arrival of their international nurses.

We arrange flights, airport pickup, temporary housing, transportation, setting up a bank accounts and other essential tasks.

We make sure every nurse settles in successfully into their new job and community

Global Nurse Force follows the World Health Organization and International Council of Nurses guidelines for ethical nurse recruitment and never charges any placement or processing fees to nurses in relation to gaining employment overseas.

With over 20 years of international nurse recruitment experience, we have successfully delivered thousands of nurses to clients in the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia and USA.

Recruiting with Global Nurse Force poses no financial risk since you don’t pay us anything until your nurses start working.
