Nurse Recruitment

April 10th, 2008

Nurse recruitment has been a major problem for the healthcare industry in America. The country has not been producing enough nurses to address the industry’s needs. And while there are thousands of graduates from nursing schools all over the country, it is not enough to fill the country’s needs for highly-skilled registered nurses. Even scholarly research from various universities, such as the study published in the Journal of Advanced Nursing in the Ohio State University states that while the country previously experienced a problem in nurse recruitment in the past, the current shortage of nurses is unlike the past shortages experienced. The current nursing workforce in the country is ageing and the products of nursing schools are never enough to fill the lack of supply. According to the study previously stated, there are four reasons why there is currently a problem when it comes to nurse recruitment. Besides the ageing nursing workforce, there is a decline in enrollment in nursing schools and a change in the work atmosphere in the healthcare industry in the country. The poor image of nursing and nurses in America have also contributed to the problem in nurse recruitment and the shortage of nurses in the country. Due to these factors, a shortage of around one million nurses by 2012 should be expected, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. As stated by an article published in the Daily Herald, a website on immigration, America will need at least 100,000 nurses in the next ten years, a number America cannot fill up by itself. If this problem is left unaddressed, the healthcare industry will be significantly diminished and the welfare of the citizens of the country will be put at risk.

One solution cited by the study to resolve the problem in nurse recruitment is to explore other recruitment options. Healthcare facilities, faced with the problem of filling their need of qualified healthcare staff, must get their registered nurses elsewhere. In recent years, the number of foreign-trained nurses in the country has significantly increased. However, the increase has not completely answered the country’s problems in nurse recruitment. That is why nurse recruiters and healthcare facilities in America continue to present countless opportunities to highly skilled nurses from other countries. America, the Middle East, and Canada have long depended on the Philippines to fill their needs in nurse recruitment. This is because the Philippines does not have problem with nurse recruitment. The Philippines’ supply of nurses is sufficient to address their country’s needs in healthcare. For this reason, Filipino nurses are looking for employment in other countries, such as America and Canada. In fact, because of this, the Philippines has become the top provider of nurses in the America.

While Filipino nurses help America with its problem in nurse recruitment, are they skilled enough to keep up with the work climate in America’s healthcare industry, which even American nurses find toxic?

Filipino nurses are equipped to fit in America’s healthcare industry. This is because their medical system is similar to the medical system of America. The nurses of Abbariao International Nurse Recruitment are equipped to take on the changes of the medical industry in America. This is because the president of Abbariao International Nurse Recruitment screens the applicants himself to make sure that the nurses his nurse recruitment company will get can meet the standards of America’s healthcare industry.

Healthcare facilities may be turned off by the fact that hiring foreign-trained nurses costs more. However, with Abbariao Intl, this would not be an issue; their price is 20 to 30 percent lower compared to the industry standards. Since their nurses are highly qualified and their cost is cheaper compared to other nurse recruitment companies—not to mention Abbariao International Nurse Recruitment’s 30 year experience in the healthcare industry in America—the nurses of Abbariao International Nurse Recruitment will not only be able to help address America’s need for registered nurses, they can also provide quality services at par with the standards of America’s healthcare industry.
