Project Medic offer superior alternative to respond to the nursing shortage by augmenting the pool of available nurses for you by tapping labor pools in countries such as India which have a surplus of qualified, English speaking candidates.

Project Medic focuses exclusively on contract and permanent placement of International Nurses with acute care hospitals and other healthcare organizations across the United States. We provide a total end-to-end International Nurse Recruitment Solution for our clients: from candidate screening and selection to securing the state RN licensure and completing all the immigration requirements.

Our international nurse recruitment services are designed to accommodate each hospital's unique requirements and maximize their return on investment (ROI). Based on your specific conditions and needs, you can chose from either of the two options:

          a) Direct Permanent Placement
          b) Long-term Nurse Contracting

Direct Permanent Placement:

In this program, the hospital signs an agreement with Project Medic to bring in specified number of foreign nurses with required skill-set to fill their permanent staffing needs (especially the chronic, long-term vacancies). The recruiting fees are usually paid based on milestones starting with an initial advance with the order and ending with final payment within 30 days of the foreign nurse starting work at your facility.

The entire process from candidate sourcing to arranging interviews to facilitating the immigration process is handled by Project Medic. In this program, once a candidate is screening and selected, the hospital or the healthcare facility acts as the 'sponsor' to the foreign nurse for an employment-based green-card. The foreign nurse is required by law to work for the 'sponsoring' employer for a minimum period of 2 years. Hospitals not only improve their RN staffing levels, they also reduce their RN turnover ratio leading to greater savings.

Long Term Nurse Contracting (or temp-to-perm model):

Many hospitals that have chronic nursing shortages have gotten used to utilizing costly
travel/agency nurses to maintain nurse-to-patient ratios almost round the year and not just during high census period. Project Medic offers a cost-effective alternative to these traditional travelers. The process starts with the hospital signing a contract similar to that with a travel nursing company except that the contact term is usually 1 year with option for permanent placement at the end of the contract for an additional fee. There are no upfront fees to the hospital; Project Medic does all the screening, immigration sponsorship, licensure and travel arrangements for the international nurse at its cost until the nurse starts work at the hospital with necessary work-permits and certifications. The hospital can even terminate a nurses' contract at any given time with 30 days notice. For hospitals that are new to international recruiting or those who first want to try out the international nurses before making long-term commitment, this is a risk-free alternative.
