The USA has long been a destination of choice for Filipino nurses. For decades, the opportunities presented by the United States have drawn talented men and women in, inviting them to live their version of the American dream. As an international nurse recruitment agency, Conexus MedStaff is committed to enabling registered nurses to build a career and life they love in the U.S., with comprehensive support provided at every step of the journey. Read on to discover how we help Filipino nurses in the USA to thrive.
Filipino nurses play a vital role in the U.S. healthcare system. A key contributing factor to this is that the nursing curriculum in the Philippines is heavily influenced by Western medical practices, especially from the United States. This means that transitioning from working in the Philippines to nursing in the USA is somewhat easier.
To further enable a smooth transition to becoming a Filipino nurse in the USA, we offer our international nurses both professional healthcare and cultural training.
Through Conexus Academy, our nurses learn the skills and competencies that will help them to thrive in the United States’ healthcare sector. From expectations to understanding equipment, hierarchy, systems and more, our training program is designed to bring every nurse up to speed, so that they can fit seamlessly into their new role in the USA.
Career prospects as a Filipino nurse in the USA
We want our nurses to build a life they love in the USA, and believe that an important aspect of that is working in a role they can enjoy and excel at. Our experts spend time with each Conexus nurse to understand their career goals and where their passion for nursing lies. Based on this, we develop a personalized education pathway designed to help them achieve their professional ambitions. We also support enrolment into further education, with discounts of up to 20% on education fees at select academic institutes.

Building a life you love as a Filipino nurse in the United States
Work-life balance is important – and so is creating a life you love. Moving to a new country can be challenging. Establishing connections while learning your new surroundings, understanding your community, and settling into a new job can be tough. We’ve helped international nurses from around the world make the move to the USA, so we know what it takes to make things as easy as possible from day one.
At the start of your immigration journey with Conexus, our experts will take the time to learn what hopes you have for your future move to the United States. We’ll ask questions such as will you move on your own or with family, do you have family or friends already in the USA who you’d like to be close to… we’ll even want to know what sort of climate you prefer. Based on your preferences, we’ll then recommend the best matches with our healthcare facility partners located across the United States.
Once in the U.S., you’ll also have the ongoing support of our dedicated Engagement Managers, each of whom are experts in their local areas. They will be there to help you settle in, offering any guidance and assistance you may need, so that you can find your feet as quickly as possible.
There are many Conexus Filipino nurses in the USA who are making their mark in their workplaces and local communities. From winning awards to doing valuable volunteer work, our Conexus nurses make us proud every day with their successes.
We’re honored to have helped so many wonderful nurses thrive in their new American lives.
