What Our Nurses Say About Us

My journey toward my American dream started in 2015. After I passed my NCLEX exam, one of the Health Carousel recruiters called me asking if I wanted to be a part of their growing healthcare professionals family. I heard good feedback from friends of friends regarding this agency so that's why I agreed. I didn't expect it to come sooner; hands down to all the agents who helped me through this journey. I would like to thank Karen for her patience, effort, and time she spent reminding me to submit all my requirements on time. My deepest gratitude to all the Health Carousel Philippines staff for giving me the chance to fulfill this once in a lifetime opportunity. I would like to encourage my fellow nurses to don't stop dreaming. Everything will happen in God's perfect time.

To my HC/PPUSA family, thank you very much for fulfilling my American dream. Despite the unexpected delays, sleepless nights and the pandemic situation, we still pulled it off and reached our main goal. To my coordinator Stephanie, thanks for being patient and accommodating in answering all my inquiries and requests. And to my fellow nurses, never lose hope, keep on praying and continue to trust the process.

I had a tedious journey of ups and downs to the point of me almost losing hope and giving up. But with constant prayers and proper guidance from Health Carousel team, my American dream is finally within my reach. This journey taught me to become patient and to trust the process. . . because nothing is impossible as long as you put your heart in it.

I can say that the application process went by smoothly. I was assigned to very accommodating advisors. They were able to help me from the start of the application until now that I am preparing for deployment. They were very eager to offer help, both in the technicalities of the application, and in terms of offering reassurances, encouragement, and push that I needed to get through the process. Throughout the experience I learned the value of patience and faith. It may be a cliche, but I have grasped the reality that these two characteristics are very important. I have encountered several delays in the process and the key is be patient, while at the same time having faith that things will fall into place at the right time.

I will always be thankful to Health Carousel for believing in me. For sponsoring and supporting me from NCLEX, IELTS, and everything I needed to reach my #AmericanDream. They made my journey even easier with peace of mind that everything is being worked out by my reliable advisors and I can just focus on working, studying, and bettering myself. The best things don't come easy, you will need to put in the work and make sacrifices. But when you reach the end, you'll be very glad you never gave up the journey. Never forget to pray and always carry a grateful heart.

Throughout my journey with PassportUSA, my advisor has been quite helpful and thoughtful in addressing my questions and peculiarity. I am arriving in the US with my spouse and my little daughter who is 3 months old exactly today. My advice to healthcare professionals coming to work and live in the US is to always believe in themselves to make it happen. You can't go wrong by choosing PassportUSA.

I first joined Health Carousel in 2006, and after passing all the screening procedures, I was accepted. However, after passing NCLEX-RN, retrogression came and my petition was not pushed through. I thought it would be the end of my American dream. In December 2014, I visited the PassportUSA website and submitted my application online. Unexpectedly, PassportUSA called me in January 2015 and asked me if I still wanted to go to the US and without hesitation I signed the contract with Health Carousel. In the same year I got my priority date and started to comply with the necessary requirements needed for my visa application. Health Carousel is very organized in giving the requirements and my processing associates are very accommodating. My warmest appreciations to Karen, Roda and Ela for their support from the start of my application until the preparation of my departure to the US. I know many nurses are aspiring to work as a registered nurse in the US. With these, all I can say is 'Good things come to those who patiently wait and persevere'.

Having Liza as a very supportive processing associate and international deployment advocate made my journey smooth sailing.

When I signed the contract with Health Carousel, I knew it was my first step in reaching my American Dream and I was confident that Health Carousel can be of big help in reaching my goal. What I really love about Health Carousel is that they would really give me specific instructions for every stage of my application which is very helpful. If I would need assurance, the advisors and managers would give it to me and find ways to help me in any way that they can. Overall, the service that they provided was very satisfactory especially with my advisor, Stephanie. She was there 24/7 whenever I had questions, and was very friendly.

I started with Health Carousel in November 2016. They immediately filed my I-140 after I passed my IELTS. Everything went well with the help of my International Deployment Advocates, Lenci, Liza, and Kimberly. They are always on time and very professional in dealing with all of my questions. We had all the conversations through emails and phone calls and they really know what they are doing. Health Carousel and my International Deployment Advocate, Kimberly, were always present to guide me. To my fellow nurses who are still on the way to our American dream, do not lose hope, but instead lean in all God's promises. It took me two years before I finally reached my dream but everything is worth waiting for. I believed that God has something special for each of us at the right time. Thank you Health Carousel and continue to inspire more nurses. To God be the glory.
