They work with some of the best hospitals and healthcare facilities in the US, where nurses earn starting salaries of $55,000 a year. Their nationally recognized Joseph Curran, Esq. provides trustworthy legal services to all our clients and their families. They also provide help with the qualifying exams of NCLEX, CGFNS, TOEFL, IELTS, TSE, and TWE in the form of excellent study materials and payment of exam fees.
At Kennedy Healthcare Recruiting, they believe the key to your success and well-being is informed decision making:
• As a qualified candidate, you will have a choice of jobs and locations.
• You will be fully informed of the terms and conditions of your prospective employment in the States before signing a contract.
• You will sign a contract directly with the hospital you choose to work with before you come to the USA.
Kennedy Healthcare Recruiting, Inc. is committed to the highest professional and ethical services in recruiting nurses to work for hospitals and healthcare facilities and the USA. Their executives have over eighteen years experience in helping thousands of international professionals obtain visas and start their lives in the United States. They select only the most qualified candidates. They also ensure that job offers are fair and compatible with nurses’ experience and preferences. They strive for transparency so that both nurses and the hospitals sponsoring them are fully aware of their options, and can make the most of them. Kennedy Healthcare Recruiting, Inc. endorses the ICN position statement on ethical nurse recruitment.
Unfortunately, the present nursing shortage in the USA has encouraged unethical practices in the recruitment industry. Each day they hear stories of recruiters who have exploited nurses by charging unreasonable fees, giving misinformation about their options, or manipulate documents and credentials. They have also heard stories of recruiters who match nurses with jobs that are incompatible with the nurse’s skills and preferences. Both nurses and hospitals suffer in such cases.

Kennedy Recruiting, Inc. condemns such practices, and endeavors to help nurses and hospitals make fully informed decisions.
They provide complete and accurate information to employers about nurses’ qualifications, education and experience. Likewise, nurses are fully informed about their prospective employers, job description, benefits, sick leave, etc. Nurses should expect proper orientation, constructive supervision and fair treatment. They should be aware of all the resources available to them such as professional and cultural associations.
