The RN Shortage Solution You May Be Overlooking ๐
Why International RNs Are the Talent Pipeline Hospitals Need Now
๐ Hello Healthcare Leader,
The nursing shortage in the U.S. isnโt going away โ in fact, itโs intensifying. With burnout, retirements, and rising patient demand, hospitals are facing a growing workforce crisis.
But what if we told you the solution isnโt just local?
Across the globe, there are hundreds of thousands of qualified, English-speaking registered nurses ready and eager to work in the U.S. โ if only hospitals knew how to tap into this talent pool.
Letโs explore why international RNs are the most underutilized but high-impact hiring strategy in 2025.

๐ Why International Nurses Are the Answer
โ๏ธ Highly Trained & Licensed
Many international RNs hold bachelorโs degrees and have years of experience in fast-paced clinical environments.
โ๏ธ NCLEX-Ready
A growing number of candidates have already passed the NCLEX or are enrolled in prep programs.
โ๏ธ Committed to Long-Term Roles
Unlike short-term agency hires, international nurses often stay 3+ years โ building continuity and culture.
โ๏ธ Cost-Effective
Hiring directly means you avoid constant turnover, agency markups, and temporary staffing gaps.
๐ What the Data Says
๐งโโ๏ธ U.S. needs over 275,000 new RNs by 2030
