Global Nurse Force has been providing international nurses to healthcare facilities for over 20 years.
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.
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.
