Summary

The chronic healthcare shortage, especially for nurses, has led many organizations to conclude that the solution is not solely domestic recruiting. Our panelists will share how international healthcare workers can effectively address the existing staffing methods.  The focus will be on nurse staffing but will briefly cover other healthcare occupations. Whether you are new to international recruitment or have already been using it for staffing needs, you will gain key insights from this session. Topics will include: how to find and evaluate the candidates, the pros and cons of the direct staffing vs. agency staffing model, the options and timelines for the immigration process, how to hire international nurses who are already in the U.S., hurdles in the immigration process and how to avoid them, tips to create a strong assimilation and retention program.

Learning outcomes:

• Analyzing whether international recruitment makes sense for your organization’s needs
• Choosing the staffing model that works best for your needs
• Understanding the timeline and setting a pipeline for a flow of candidates
• Recognizing potential hurdles so your organization can avoid them
• Assimilation and retention measures
