Foreign healthcare professionals have always played a critical part of the US health system. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, their role became more important than ever.
Healthcare professionals were put into the spotlight and labeled as heroes for their efforts to protect, heal and support those affected by COVID-19.
The Need for Foreign Healthcare Professionals in the US
According to the State of the World’s Nursing Report published in April 2020, higher-income nations rely significantly on foreign-trained nurses to supplement their domestically trained workforce. The United States is not an exception as Migration Policy Institute reports that New York and California have over 25% of their nursing workforce as immigrants.
This demand for foreign-trained nurses increased at the start of the pandemic and continues today. As a result, the perception of the nursing profession has dramatically improved in many countries including the US.
We Thank You for Your Hard Work
Foreign nurses are relied upon in the US to supplement the workforce. We appreciate the dedication and care they provide to their patients.
The US ranks as one of the best countries for foreign nurses in salary, technology, and employment opportunities. Because of the private healthcare system in the US, nurses have access to modern and state-of-the-art equipment and technology. And with the national shortage of staff, there are abundant employment opportunities.
It’s never been a better time to be a foreign healthcare professional. Your contribution to improving the healthcare system is essential and you are in a highly sought-after role. While COVID made it especially difficult for the profession, we are all tremendously grateful for your hard work and sacrifice.
