How Global Healthcare Professionals can help fill the growing nursing gap
The decades-long nursing shortage crisis in the United States — expected to reach 1.13 million by 2024 and grow exponentially from there— represents such a conundrum due to an aging population and a tsunami of healthcare worker retirements. Solving the US nursing shortage requires a variety of solutions. Foreign recruitment is one of them. This widening talent gap and the need for multiple approaches to the crisis is precisely why Health Carousel International and the PassportUSA program exists: We complement other staffing solutions to alleviate the pressures hospitals and healthcare organizations feel as they struggle to meet increased patient needs.
An estimated 200,000 nursing positions are projected to go unfilled at hospitals across the country this year. All told, one-in-eight nursing positions will go unstaffed. Analysts believe about one-third of the country's nurses – more than one million altogether – will retire within the next decade as the post-World War II Baby Boom generation ages into their sunset years. At the same time, demand for care by an aging population is skyrocketing. Seventy-five percent of Americans over 65 are living with multiple chronic conditions.

By recruiting global healthcare professionals, Health Carousel International achieves several goals simultaneously:
We help short-staffed healthcare organizations provide better quality care to their patients
Ease the burden on veteran nurses and allied health professionals who are at risk of burnout due to overwork
Lessen the cost of paying stretched-thin nurses overtime wages to fill staffing deficiencies
Make international healthcare workers' American dreams come true
