Overseas Nurse Recruitment Agencies

April 10th, 2008

Around 26 percent of America’s 300-million population are now older than 60-years-old. This means that more and more Americans are requiring more intensive healthcare. The ageing population has started to strain the healthcare system of the United States. And with the nursing shortage looming with no signs of disappearing anytime soon, it is going to leave a dent not just in the medical industry of America.

Overseas nurse recruitment agencies have provided good opportunities for healthcare facilities in the country by filling in the vacant positions left by the shortage of nurses. While experts have questioned if getting nurses through overseas nurse recruitment agencies can help address the shortage, the government and some published scholarly studies have said that while hiring through overseas nurse recruitment agencies cannot solely solve the problem, hiring overseas nurse recruitment agencies, in addition with other measures, can help solve the labor shortage in the medical industry in America. This way, the nurses from overseas nurse recruitment agencies can help ease the effects of the shortage while America makes ways to become more self-sufficient in terms of medical labor, which the country will need to address before the vacancy reaches a higher level. Not all overseas nurse recruitment agencies add injury to the all ailing medical system around the world. While there are a lot of overseas nurse recruitment agencies that get their nurses from other countries with nursing shortage, Abbariao International Nurse Recruitment is an overseas nurse recruitment agency that complies with the request of the World Health Organization to respect and to the consider the situation of other countries.

Some overseas nurse recruitment agencies get their nurses from countries that do not mind sending trained nurses to different nations. However, there are countries where the migration of nurse will have adverse effects on the home country. For example, some overseas nurse recruitment agencies get nurses from places where there is already a crisis in their medical system. If, for example, an overseas nurse recruitment agency gets nurses from Africa, which has 25 percent of the world’s disease burden, the effects can be devastating. The World Health Organization and the International Council on Nursing condemn this practice. Countries like the Philippines, on the other hand, do not mind sending nurses because they produce enough nurses for their country. When looking at the figures, the Philippines has enough nurses since it produces more 40,000 nurses through its more than 350 nursing schools. In fact, overseas nurse recruitment agencies have their eyes on Philippines. The Philippines is currently the number one provider of nurses in America as well as in the Middle East. Other countries such as Canada and the United Kingdom have also requested Filipino nurses from nurse recruitment agencies. Nurses from the Philippines are in demand because of their good command of the English language (which is important in any kind of work in America), their familiarity with the medical system in the US (because the Philippines has the same medical system), and their affinity with America (the culture of the Philippines is slightly similar to the culture of America, and Filipinos are easily adaptable people, especially when it comes to the work place).

Of all the overseas nurse recruitment agencies in America, Abbariao International Nurse Recruitment is the most relied on provider of nurses. Their nurses have a 94 percent passing rate in the NCLEX (or the National Council Licensure Examination) and the company itself has a 100 percent repeat business rate from its existing clients due to its affordability (20 to 30 percent cheaper than the industry standard), experience (Abbariao Intl has been in the business for over 30 years), employer loyalty (97 percent of their nurses finish their initial 30 month contract), and contract terms (long assignments for nurses). And because of Abbariao Intl’s personal approach when it comes to hiring nurses, healthcare facilities can be sure the Filipino nurses they are getting will meet the standards of the medical industry in America.
