As the leading provider of US career opportunities for internationally- trained RNs, Health Carousel International (HCI) has successfully facilitated the immigration and placement of thousands of healthcare professionals in top- tier US organizations. Our ethical standards and track record speak for themselves, earning the trust of international healthcare professionals like you.
We care about your geo-location placement preferences. HCI has hundreds of prestigious healthcare facility clients located in all 50 US states and you get to provide input on where you would like to be.
You will be our employee working at a best-fit client healthcare facility based on your abilities and location, setting, and unit preferences. We have clients in all U.S. states. They range from leading academic medical institutions to rural community hospitals. Whatever you seek, we will likely have a few nursing career opportunities to consider. You will likely work at the same healthcare facility for your entire assignment period. However, we will assist with relocation and license costs if you must change assignments.
Our aim is that you will be paid an hourly rate consistent with the pay scale for RNs with similar experience at the facility to which you are assigned. Additionally, we provide a relocation allowance to help you settle in your work location, and you’ll be eligible for performance-based merit increases during the assignment. Topping off your compensation package is that Health Carousel pays for the tuition and fees of an MSN degree program.
Optional Practical Training (OPT) is a temporary work permit program that allows eligible F-1 international students to gain real-world work experience related to their field of study in the United States. Registered nurses can apply for up to 12 months of OPT employment authorization. During OPT, you can work full-time as long as the work is related to your nursing degree.
“Day 1 CPT” is a specific rule in some U.S. master’s or doctoral programs that allows international students to start Curriculum Practical Training (CPT) immediately. This means you can begin an internship or full-time work right from the beginning of your program. Institutions that offer this type of program are known as “Day 1 CPT Universities.”
Day-1 CPT programs in nursing are uncommon and we will provide you with a list of our acceptable educational partners where you can enroll.
While some of the day-1 CPT coursework is online, you will be required to attend classes in person periodically each semester, and we will provide travel stipends.
Health Carousel covers the day-1 CPT MSN program tuition and fees. You are responsible for taxes on education benefits above the U.S. IRS maximum allowable benefit of $5,250 annually.
This program lasts roughly three years. During the first year you will work on OPT then transition to a two-year CPT program. You will be able to work full-time while in both programs.
