International nurses: Why you can trust us as a Green Card sponsor in the USA

By Conexus MedStaff - Posted Feb 26, 2024

​Like us, other agencies know what’s involved with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and I-140 petitions that lead to Green Card decisions for international nurses who want to work in the USA.

However, you’ll immediately sense a difference when you reach out to Conexus MedStaff and trust us with your career plans.

Our Conexus MedStaff team embraces our core values, which shine through in everything we do. These values are:

  • Passion – We are passionately driven to find exceptional people extraordinary careers.
  • Integrity – We do the right thing, doing well while doing good.
  • Care and Support – We care and support our people, healthcare professionals, clients and communities.
  • Family – We are a proud family business that welcomes everyone we work with to be part of our family. Conexus is what connects us.
  • Growth – We are committed to coaching our team, growing our people, and growing our business so we can make even more of an impact on the world.
  • Gratitude – We value each other, our partners, and the role we play together to improve the well-being of communities.

We’re far more than an agency that has a handle on federal Green Card requirements, or what it takes to line you up with the right role at the right hospital or other healthcare facility. And it’s not just that we get you acclimated with living in the United States or offer additional training. We care about you as a person in every way.

Veronica Sanchez, our in-house Director of Immigration, conveys our sentiment every day with each person she works with. She echoes what you’ll hear from each Conexus member. Here are a few examples of how she consistently reinforces our standards:

How does Conexus MedStaff deal with international healthcare professionals who are in the middle of all the paperwork, like I-140 petitions, birth certificates, passports, transcripts, and deployment?

“We’re patient and understanding. Our healthcare professionals are coming to another country with a different culture, with a different language, with a different everything, so we make it a priority to help them feel comfortable and supported at every stage. I moved to the U.S. myself and now live here full-time, so I understand what they’re going through.”

How is Conexus MedStaff different from other agencies that international nurses may approach to work in the USA?

“The Green Card may be approved, but other agencies don’t have the empathy or that personal connection that Conexus really values. We appreciate that immigration can be difficult. Our healthcare professionals are leaving everything behind to move to the U.S. It’s a big deal, both emotionally and physically, and we’re here to support them every step of the way, to make it as easy as possible.”

Can you elaborate?

“We’re bringing human beings to the U.S., and we’re going change their lives. So, whatever we do to help them is key. I always tell my team: ‘We do not produce bikes. We bring human beings to another country.’ We need to be sympathetic, patient, kind… we need to be human. Our business is to help people who help people, and maintaining that human element is so very important.”

How do you ensure that healthcare professionals know they’re more than just a new applicant and that you have their interests top of mind?

“Other companies merely bring on nurses and make sure they start working. We are, in my opinion, very good at providing the human touch with an emphasis on empathy. We make sure that they feel safe and are part of the community when they come here. As they touch American soil, we want them to have everything they need. We treat them the way they deserve to be treated. It doesn’t cost anything to be kind.”
