VISAS FOR FOREIGN TRAINED NURSES



Quantum Medical Staffing, is a national healthcare staffing company specializing in placing American, Canadian and other foreign trained nurses on assignments throughout the United States. Nurses trained and educated outside of the United States must obtain a work visa in order to work legally in the U.S.

There are two types of visas, temporary (usually offered in increments of one to three years) and permanent (Green Card or permanent resident). Presently, temporary visas are not available to most foreign trained nurses so Quantum Medical Staffing only sponsors international applicants through permanent status.

Although, there is one temporary visa category, H-1C, that is afforded to nurses, it is too restrictive for practical use. In addition, many people mistakenly believe that another temporary visa, H-1B is available to RNs however less than 1% of nurses would be eligible for this visa, so again it is not a viable method for entry into the U.S.

Typically, we sponsor nurses for Green Cards through a process know as consular processing. Consular processing will take approximately 10 to 18 months to complete and until your sponsorship is complete you must remain outside of the U.S. and are not eligible to work here. In exchange for sponsorship, Quantum Medical Staffing or one of its clients will require an employment commitment of no less than 18 months.

Quantum Medical Staffing can also assist you in preparing for the NCLEX exam through our associations with Delmar Learning and Kaplan Inc., premier providers of educational services. Successful completion of the NCLEX examination is a requirement for obtaining a license to work as a Registered Nurse in the United States. Call us to find out how Quantum Medical Staffing can save you 20 % on Delmar Learning or 15% on Kaplan's NCLEX preparation courses.

Quantum Medical Staffing's licensing, immigration and housing specialists coordinate all pre-employment requirements and advise you on all relocation details while preparing you and your family for your move to the U.S.

Quantum Medical Staffing encourages you and your family to take advantage of our Green Card sponsorship option. If you wish to be considered for sponsorship, please forward your Curriculum Vitae for review to careers@quantummedicalstaffing.com or fax to (760) 436-2322.
