For international nurses and medical technologists aspiring to work in the USA, nurse staffing agencies like Conexus MedStaff can help you pursue your American dream. In this article, we speak to Greenlie, an ASCPI-certified medical technologist from the Philippines, about her new life in the United States with Conexus.

Greenlie and her husband made the move to New Mexico just this year, embarking on their first experience of living abroad, and together they’ve embraced this new chapter. "It’s been a wonderful experience for both of us," she shares. "We’ve found a great sense of community here and have enjoyed exploring all that the U.S. has to offer." Her husband, too, has found a welcoming environment for his career, and they both feel excited about what the future holds.

For Greenlie, moving to the U.S. has been nothing short of transformative. "It’s opened up new opportunities for me both professionally and personally," she explains. Now, working with cutting-edge technology in her field, she’s thriving in her new environment. "The healthcare system here is constantly evolving, and I’m eager to be a part of that progress."

In addition to professional growth, she’s been struck by the warmth of the people she’s met. "Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, eager to help me adjust to my new life," she adds. Though the move was overwhelming at first, Greenlie quickly felt a sense of adventure and possibility. "The energy and diversity of the U.S. is invigorating," she says. "I love the diverse cultural experiences and the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life. It’s a truly enriching environment."

“This first picture captures a moment of pure joy and excitement. It was taken at the port of entry in the U.S., just after my husband and I arrived. We were finally here, ready to start this new chapter in our lives.”

Greenlie chose Conexus for the exceptional support we offer in navigating the complexities of starting a new career in the U.S. "Conexus exceeded my expectations," she says, highlighting our constant availability to answer questions, address concerns, and provide resources. Despite the long journey, Greenlie states that Conexus made the process smooth, guiding her through every step from finding the right job to managing paperwork. Our support allowed her and her husband to start their new lives together, for which they are deeply grateful.

Now settled into her new community, Greenlie feels a deep sense of accomplishment and purpose. "I’m ready to make a difference in the lives of my patients," she says, reflecting on how far she’s come. "It’s been a whirlwind of emotions, but I’m so thankful for every step of the way."

“This second picture, taken the first day of my new job, represents the culmination of my journey.”

To other healthcare professionals considering the same path, Greenlie offers this advice: "Be prepared for a challenging but rewarding journey. The U.S. healthcare system is complex, and there will be a learning curve. But with hard work, dedication, and the right support, you can achieve your goals."
