Nursy Career Connect
Exclusive Nursy program
You earned the license. Now earn the contract.
Nursy Career Connect is the program that connects nurses licensed in the U.S. directly with American companies that are hiring. We prepare your profile, train you for the interview, and forward your resume to the right recruiter.
We are not a sponsor. We are the bridge between you and those who are hiring.
You passed the NCLEX. Congratulations. But now comes the part no one told you about.
Finding an American employer to sponsor your visa is not simple. Hundreds of nurses apply on the same portals every day. Your resume goes into a pile. No one reads it. No one responds.
And when they are finally called for an interview, many nurses lose the opportunity because they did not know what the recruiter expected to hear, were not familiar with the typical questions, or were not prepared to handle a professional interview in English.
The result: nurses with a valid license who go months (sometimes more than a year) without landing an offer. And here is what many do not know: the EB-3 visa works as a queue. Your priority date (the date you enter the queue) only starts counting once you have a sponsor. Every month you take to land a contract is one more month you will wait at the end before you can travel.
The sooner you enter the queue, the sooner you arrive in the United States.
The EB-3 visa for nurses has a waiting queue (priority date) that can take 1 to 3 years, depending on the country of origin. That queue only starts moving once your sponsor files the petition with USCIS. If you take 6 extra months to land the contract, that is 6 extra months at the end, waiting to travel with your family. The right preparation shortens that path.
It is not just forwarding a resume. It is preparing you to be chosen.
Other advisories send your resume as just another name on a list. Nursy prepares you before presenting you, so that when the recruiter receives your profile, they already want to interview you.
Complete professional profile analysis
We assess your clinical specialty, years of experience, English level, family situation, and state preference. We recommend the ideal employer type (direct hire or agency) and the states with the highest demand for your specialty.
You leave this stage with total clarity on which path makes the most sense for your profile.
Resume and cover letter in the U.S. healthcare standard
It is not a PDF template for you to fill in. Our team creates (or rewrites) your resume in the format American healthcare recruiters expect to see. Optimized for applicant tracking systems (ATS) and for human reading. Includes a personalized cover letter.
Result: a professional resume + cover letter ready to send.
Mock interview in English (exclusive to Nursy)
A real interview simulation session with the typical questions from American nursing recruiters. We assess your communication, the content of your answers, your posture, and your confidence. At the end, you receive detailed feedback on the points you need to improve before the real interview.
No competitor offers this. Others send your resume and hope. We train you to win.
Active search for the best openings for your profile
Here is the biggest differentiator of Career Connect: we have no exclusive ties to any company. This means we search the entire American market for the best openings available for your profile and preferences. Direct hire, agency staffing, hospitals, clinics. Openings change all the time as they get filled, and we track that movement in real time to find the right opportunity for you.
Result: access to the best openings of the moment, with no limitation to a single company.
Support through to contract signing
We guide you during the interviews. We review the employment contract (minimum-term clauses, benefits, relocation assistance, health insurance, 401k) and support you through to the final signature.
Result: a contract signed with knowledge of every clause.

Direct hire or agency staffing? We help you choose.
Direct Hire
The hospital hires you directly as an employee. A 3-year contract is typical. Greater stability, better benefits (401k, insurance, PTO). You work at the same location from day one.
Ideal for: those who want stability and know where they want to live.
Salaries: US$ 65k to US$ 95k/year
Agency Staffing (via agency)
A recruitment agency hires you and places you in its partner hospitals. The agency is your employer and visa sponsor. More location flexibility. There are dozens of agencies in the American market, and Nursy finds the one that best fits your profile.
Ideal for: those who want flexibility and are open to different cities.
Salaries: US$ 55k to US$ 85k/year + housing

- average monthly salary

- 3 years
- typical contract
No ties to any company. And that is best for you.
Other advisories have exclusive contracts with 3 or 4 sponsors. That means they can only refer you to those companies, even if there are better openings elsewhere. Nursy does not work that way.
Advisory with exclusive ties
Has contracts with 3 or 4 companies. Can only refer to those. If none has an opening in your specialty or in the state you want, you wait. The advisory's interest is to fill its partner's openings, not necessarily to find the best opportunity for you.
Nursy Career Connect (independent)
We search the entire market. Direct hire, agency staffing, hospitals, clinics, health systems. Openings are dynamic: they open and close all the time as they get filled. We monitor that movement and forward your profile to wherever the best opportunity is at that moment.
The market changes. The openings change. Your advisory needs to keep up.
Today the best opening might be at a hospital in Florida. Next week, it might be an agency in Texas with housing included. Nursy searches for the best opportunity available for your profile and wishes, in real time. No strings attached.
What clients say about Nursy
Career Connect is run by the same team that guides nurses from diploma to US license. Our client reviews are public and verifiable on Trustpilot.
