Living & Working in the U.S.
More Than a Job — A Life-Changing Move
Starting your nursing career in the U.S. is about more than employment. It’s about building a future, advancing professionally, and giving your family new opportunities. We help you prepare for every aspect of that transition — both at work and beyond.
Salary Expectations
Registered nurses in the United States typically earn:
• Starting salary: around $80,000 USD per year
• With experience, overtime, and night/weekend shifts, many nurses earn over $100,000 USD annually within a few years
Salary depends on your location, facility type, shift, and specialty — but U.S. nursing roles are consistently among the highest-paying in the world.
Relocation Support
While each employer offers different relocation benefits, most provide support that may include:
• Travel planning and airfare
• Temporary housing or housing stipends
• Airport pickup
• Guidance on opening a bank account, obtaining a driver’s license, and more
We coordinate with your employer and prepare you in advance — so your arrival feels smooth, not overwhelming.
Life in the U.S.
The United States offers a high quality of life, diversity of cultures, and excellent professional conditions for nurses. You’ll gain:
• Safe and modern work environments
• Access to continuing education and career development
• The chance to grow your skills in world-class hospitals
• Opportunities for your family to thrive — education, healthcare, and community support
We help you adapt to the American healthcare system, workplace culture, and everyday life.
Career Growth Opportunities
Your nursing journey doesn’t stop after placement. In the U.S., you can:
• Pursue advanced certifications (ICU, ER, OR, etc.)
• Become a supervisor nurse, manager, or educator
• Join leadership or research teams
• Continue to study or specialize in high-demand areas
We support your growth even after you start your job.
Bringing Your Family or Pets?
Most visa categories allow you to bring:
• Your spouse
• Your children under 21
• In many cases, even your pets (with the right paperwork)
We’ll help you prepare, meet travel requirements, and feel confident about your relocation plans.
