Nurse Recruitment Agencies
It is already difficult to be a nurse, and it is definitely more difficult to be a nurse in a foreign country. Nurse recruitment agencies acknowledge this when they get nurses that will be sent to countries such as Canada, the Middle East, and especially the United States, which has a pronounced need of nurses due to their shortage of medical staff. While there is a shortage of nurses in America, it does not mean that their healthcare facilities will be willing to take anyone for their staff. Part of America’s problem is the lack of trained nurses, since their new graduates in nursing school are not qualified and skilled enough to handle the workload of hospitals and other medical and healthcare facilities in the country. Therefore, when healthcare facilities get foreign-trained nurses from nurse recruitment agencies, they have to make sure that nurses can meet their standards. After all, getting nurses from nurse recruitment agencies is more costly, so the healthcare facilities should get their money’s worth.
Since it can no longer be helped, nurse recruitment agencies in America are getting foreign nurses to fill the shortage in the country. It is projected that in the next 15 years or so, America will need around 500,000 to one million nurses due to the long-term shortage. Since Americans alone cannot fill these empty positions for healthcare and medical professionals, nurse recruitment agencies in the United States are currently getting nurses overseas. The Philippines is currently the number one provider of nurses in America, with other countries such as India, China, and even Africa providing nurses for the country as well.
However, with foreign nurses from nurse recruitment agencies, problems also exist. One of the main concerns of employers is communication. Not everyone knows how to speak English, and those who can speak English might have a very rudimentary grasp of it. Poor communications skills can lead to miscommunication. Clear communication is important in any workplace, and it is especially important in the medical field. A small misunderstanding can lead to fatal mistakes.
Cultural difference is also considered by nurse recruitment agencies, since it can affect the relationship among nurses in the workplace. Cultural adjustments, therefore, might cause the foreign nurses from nurse recruitment agencies to have a difficult time adjusting in the work environment. Another consideration is the difference of work roles. In another country, the work roles and ethics of nurses may be significantly different compared to the roles and ethics of nurses in America.
Abbariao International Nurse Recruitment can address all these problems. For one, the nurses of Abbariao Intl are from the Philippines, a country that is the top provider of nurses in the United States. Filipino nurses have an above average grasp of the English language. Additional lessons for English are no longer necessary for Filipino nurses. Some nurse recruitment agencies make their nurses attend English lessons, which can’t be of too much help since language is something that takes time to learn. Filipino nurses—or Filipinos in general—have been studying English since they started schooling, so their written and spoken English is exemplary. Because of this, they will have a hard time adjusting to the workplace, and it can eliminate prejudice due to language barriers. Since Filipinos are also very familiar with American culture, the cultural difference will not affect them as much as nurses from other countries. And because the medical system in the Philippines is similar to the medical system in America, role differences in the workplace are nonexistent. Filipino nurses from Abbariao International Nurse Recruitment are highly-equipped to take on the challenge of working in America. Other nurse recruitment agencies cannot match the quality of Abbariao Intl because of their topnotch nurses. While several nurse recruitment agencies in the market have only been in the industry for a few years, Abbariao Intl has an experience in the industry for 30+ years. This is why, compared to most nurse recruitment agencies, Abbariao is a top choice when it comes to nurse recruitment.
Most nurse recruitment agencies charge exorbitant rates and are not transparent with their rates. With Abbariao Intl, however, the rates are more affordable since they are 20 to 30 percent cheaper than most nurse recruitment agencies. Despite the cheaper rates, this does not mean that they are poor in quality; their 100 percent repeat business rate from existing clients is a proof that their services are satisfactory.
