Global Workforce Badge

How it works

Hospitals receive badges based on their record of directly hiring and sponsoring international registered nurses over the past three years. The evaluation covers EB-3, H-1B, F-1 (OPT/CPT with sponsorship), H-1B1, and E-3 visa categories.

Facilities with no hiring or sponsorship activity in three years receive no badge.

Badge tiers

1. B

   Bronze

   Awarded for at least some activity in one visa category, demonstrating initial interest in international nursing recruitment despite limited scope.

2. S

   Silver

   Granted to hospitals showing a broader and more consistent track record across multiple visa categories, indicating an established hiring process rather than isolated sponsorships.

3. G

   Gold

   Reserved for leaders demonstrating high volume and diversity in their international nurse hiring across three or more visa categories, reflecting institutional commitment to global recruitment.
