Companies need a broad understanding of many factors today, in order to make informed business decisions regarding the international recruitment of nurses. An effective due diligence search requires estimates of the cost, time, and risk involved in providing U.S. health care facilities with nurses. It is beneficial for a company to receive a comprehensive and organized explanation of the many factors involved in this enterprise. We at The Law Office of Sheela Murthy can guide your company through the maze of regulatory requirements, helping you to minimize risks and maximize efficiency.

To aid your company in accessing the global marketplace for nurses, we offer a Health Care Professional Business Development package. The package consists of up to twenty progressive communications with an attorney at our firm. In the preliminary communications, an overview of relevant considerations is given to the client. Bringing a nurse to the U.S. requires compliance with multiple federal and state regulating bodies, including the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the United States Department of State (DOS), the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS), International Commission on Healthcare Professions (IHCP), and a state board of nursing. Depending on the nurse’s qualifications different visa options are available, each with its own timeframe for approval and probability of success. Further, a nurse must meet the particular licensure requirements for the state in which s/he intends to practice. Certifications from the CGFNS and IHCP may be required. Visa options, immigration considerations, credentials evaluations, required examinations, certifications, and licensure requirements for foreign nursing graduates are all components of the mechanism that needs to be engineered to successfully compete in this marketplace. The task is complex, but manageable.

We have constructed this package so that our service continues for up to twenty progressive communications, as further questions surface for the business client. The duration of each communication is up to twenty minutes and each may be conducted either by telephone or by eMail.

Our experience shows that this contractual availability best meets the needs of our business clients, enabling them to make sound decisions about the business of international nurse recruiting. Moreover, we are pleased to offer this service for a fixed fee, making it possible for start-up concerns to cap their initial research and investment expenses. If our Business Development Service is what your company needs, or if you have further questions about this service, please contact our Office at 410.356.5440 to request a Legal Representation Agreement or to set up a consultation with an attorney.
