CASE STUDY

Sustaining an International Nurse Pipeline in a Highly Mobile Community

For nearly a decade, WorldWide HealthStaff Solutions has partnered with this health system to establish a sustainable pipeline of international nurses. Through ongoing workforce planning, recurring recruitment efforts, and multiple immigration pathways, the partnership has supported four hospitals while advancing a more resilient, long-term workforce strategy.


This case study examines how the strategy matured over 10 years and the measurable workforce outcomes it has produced.


In This Case Study:

  • Workforce challenges that led to a long-term international recruitment strategy
  • How recurring recruitment events created a predictable nurse pipeline
  • How EB-3, H-1B, and F-1/OPT pathways expanded workforce flexibility
  • Workforce outcomes achieved over nearly a decade of partnership
