As we have been predicting, the latest projections Bureau of Labor Statistics estimate that there will be nearly 1.1 million job openings for registered nurses in the United States. Since we know that the educational system in the US cannot possibly keep up with this demand, along with so many nurses retiring during this time period, the need for international nurses has never been higher.
Here at CareerKnacks we strongly believe that knowledge is power, especially for those in the healthcare industry. The International Nurses Association is always a a great resource in and of itself, and this week they are sharing five great resources. We thought we would share a few extra of our own.
Here at CareerKnacks we pride ourselves on the number of countries represented among our growing CareerKnacks family. We have placed RNs in their dream jobs in America from more than twenty different countries, and we aren’t stopping there! If you don’t see your country represented, get in touch! We would love to help you realize your American Dream!
Does a career in America inspire you? We would love to help you achieve this dream.
