MHA Endorsed Business Partner (EBP) AMN Healthcare offers international nurse staffing resources to help healthcare organizations strengthen workforce stability, manage labor costs and evaluate long-term staffing strategies. As health systems continue to balance high-quality patient care with workforce shortages and rising labor costs, international nurse recruitment can help create a steady pipeline of qualified clinicians.

A Long-Term Workforce Strategy

International staffing is more than a solution for filling vacancies. It can help organizations build a sustainable workforce by complementing existing staffing strategies with internationally educated nurses who support continuity of care and long-term workforce planning.

Because every health system has different needs, organizations may choose a direct-hire model to build permanent nursing capacity or a temp-to-perm approach that provides near-term staffing support while offering the flexibility to transition nurses into permanent roles over time. Both models help organizations align their workforce strategy with operational and financial goals.

Real-World Results

Health systems using international nurse programs have reported measurable workforce and financial outcomes. From improving workforce stability and reducing vacancies to lowering premium labor spending, the case studies illustrate how international staffing can support patient care and long-term financial performance.

Members can review the following case studies to see these strategies in action:

• Building a Future-Ready Workforce: Learn how one health system expanded its nursing workforce through international recruitment while improving workforce stability.
• Driving Long-Term Labor Savings: See how another organization achieved significant labor savings while building a sustainable pipeline of internationally educated nurses.

Evaluating the Potential Financial Impact

Because every organization’s workforce challenges are unique, members may also want to estimate how international staffing could affect operations and costs.

As members evaluate workforce strategies, AMN Healthcare’s International Nurse Cost Savings Calculator is available to model potential savings over three years and to consider how international staffing may support operational and financial goals. Members may also review the case studies above to see how healthcare organizations have implemented similar strategies.
