CASE STUDY
Creating a Continuous Pipeline of Nurses for Long-Term Workforce Stability
For more than two decades, a multi-state senior care provider has partnered with WorldWide HealthStaff Solutions to build a continuous pipeline of international nurses through the EB-3 visa program. Through consistent annual hiring, the partnership has supported 30 facilities across multiple states and helped deliver hundreds of experienced nurses to some of the organization's most difficult-to-fill markets.
This case study examines the strategy, execution, and outcomes of a workforce partnership that has sustained a reliable source of international nursing talent for more than 20 years.
In This Case Study:
- Why the organization adopted a long-term international recruitment strategy
- How annual hiring created a sustainable international nurse pipeline
- How WWHS supported that pipeline through virtual recruitment and in-country hiring
- Where international nurses made the greatest workforce impact
- What workforce outcomes resulted from a 20+ year partnership
