Thank you! Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you so much for how thorough you were! I really appreciate it
You're very welcome! Glad you found it helpful.
I feel motivated to apply to your agency Haven listen to this rich information on the activities of Avant recruitment agency. My question is; Is age limit factor for possible employment?
Hello, we are so glad you are motivated to apply. If you meet our clinical requirements you are welcome to apply :-)
Thank you for the detailed video,if I come to USA using Avant,you mentioned that there is a 5 week program in Orlando,if im planning to come with my family will they be staying with me during this time or they will only join me once Im at my work location?
Hello, thank you for your interest in Avant! For the 5-week transitions program, Avant nurses stay in our corporate apartments. But this is only for the nurses. Many nurses have their families join them after they have spent a few months working in the US. And some bring their families with them and figure out their accommodations during the 5 week transition. We discuss this in detail with you during the interview process.
How long the contract will be , when the contract finishes at one point do we have the chance to extend. Moreover, if I’m a nurse in UK with Permanent Residency ( PR) do I have to do IELTS exam .
Hello, the contract is based in hours. It is typically about 3 years. Before your contract ends you should have the opportunity to become direct staff with the hospital and our team will talk with you about this. As for needing IELTS, it is a requirement for the US so it would be required.
THANK YOU FOR ESPONDING TO MYRESUME
If you have completed the nclex on your own is the contract still three years?? Do the agency pay nurses overtime? If I have a particular interest later on is it possible to have the opportunity to have the necessary on the job training? eg ICU nursing
Hello, the contract for NCLEX passers is 5,200 hours. You are able to work overtime. There are opportunities to float to other units or cross train but this is based on the facility/ needs. We are happy to answer more of your questions. Please apply to our program if you meet the requirements.
Hi! Do you also cover NCLEX travel expenses such as (visa to Dubai, plane ticket, accommodation) if my location does not have a testing center? I’m a Filipino RN who is educated here in Bahrain and we do not have NCLEX testing site here.
Hi there! Yes we do! We have a fully sponsored NCLEX program which includes flight to take the exam and comprehensive review program. We encourage you to apply so our recruitment team can discuss further! Apply here: hubs.la/Q01JQkPZ0
I intend to apply but I was told that Avant don't recruit nurses who have experience in opthalmic nursing specialty, that's discouraged me to use Avant. I'm a competent and professional Nurse and wished I could enjoy working with you but ... ..
We appreciate you may be disappointed but it doesn't mean you can't qualify in the future. Follow the steps our team has emailed you. Wishing you all the best!
Hello, thank you for the video. Is it possible for BSN without any specialization to work in US
Yes it is🙂
Thank you for this video, I am really interested in applying with Avant but got discouraged with the requirement of experience with hospital with 80 beds. But I have six years experience with a private secondary hospital setting but dont have much beds. Please help clarify. I am Mabel from Nigeria
Hi Mabel, thank you for interest in Avant. You are welcome to apply for us to review your experience.
Thanks so much Leslie, this is the best video about recruitment agency vs direct hire that I have seen in recent time. Thank you. I am a Registered Nurse RN from Nigeria, I have BNSc certificate.;I have more than 2years experience I love to apply to avant, but you require experience in 80+ bed hospital, I work in government secondary facility In my country, the bed is not up to 80. Can I still apply
Glad it was helpful! We welcome you to apply and we will review if your qualifications meet our program requirements. Thank you for your interest!
At what point of the transition does your family join you? From the beginning?? Or later on?
That decision is up to you. Most RNs move ahead of their families to get everything settled and adjust to a new country. We review these options with you.
What if one has done nclex...how is the process?

Hello, the visa petition is linked to a specific location and facility. So, wherever you are placed is where you need to work.
I have applied and written your online English and nursing exams but haven't heard anything. Does that mean I didn't do well?

Hey, could you tell me what LEGAL information that I need to know if I will be starting a direct hire agency. By doing this I won't have general liability insurance, workers comp, PEO software, etc. I can't find on google anywhere what are the LEGAL requirements to start a direct hire agency, and this is literally the only thing that matters in my opinion. Do I need a certain liscense? I know to register my LLC, get EIN, and register in the states I'm doing business in, but I need to know the other legal implications that I need to actually START this business. Thank you
Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, since we are a Recruitment Agency, not Direct Hire, we are unable to get those answers for you!
Thank you for sharing with us from video I have learned that for me I will prefer recruiting agency am registered nurse in Kenya given chance

Hi there,
Do Australian nursing graduates needs to do IELTS?
I’m in Nigeria. A registered nurse. What’s the time frame for the agent to process my visa ?
Hello, it takes an estimated 8 months.
🎉 Please how long does the Avant contract last?
is there a chance that i will be placed in a hospital that i prefer even if i did not pass my nclex exam on that state?
We are happy to note down your preferred state, however, ultimately the decision is Avant's based on job openings at the time of placement. We do our best to place you where you want to be - but this is not guaranteed so we do require flexibility when it comes to placement. We are able to place you outside of the state you tested NCEX through, by endorsing your license.
Do recruitment agencies pay less than direct hire? And do not provide the increase in salary.
Ethical recruitment agencies, like Avant do provide salary increases each year and offer competitive salary and benefits packages to nurses. The pay is based on the prevailing wage in the area in which the nurses' job placement is.
Hello please I would like to find out from Avant , can one apply to Avant if one has Passed NCLEX and IELTS??
Yes, you can! Please apply here: hubs.la/Q01JQkPZ0
Can I apply while on visiting visa in the USA, I have done all my verification only left with NCLEX and IELTS.
You are welcome to apply, however, we are not processing adjustment of status cases so would not be able to assist you in converting your visitors visa to a green card.
Please i want to find out if you provide spousal support for employment
Thanks for your interest! We do provide many resources to aid spouses with finding employment in the U.S.
is OET applicable now in US for visa screen?
Hello, yes it is 🙂
Can the recruitment agency waived off the IELTS for you as in not writing the IELTS
Hello, no passing an approved English language test is a requirement for the U.S. immigration process.
@@AvantHealthcareProfessionals it depends on where you studied some places are exempted
Do you sponsor for NCLEX? As one who hold RN, BSCN degree with 10 years of experience can apply via AVANT?
Yes we do! We encourage you to apply now! hubs.la/Q01JQkPZ0
Can we going to US without Nclex? And we will study Nclex and Ielts in US? Is that the program? Thanks
Hello! In order to work in the United States as a Registered Nurse you will need to take the NCLEX Exam & IELTS.
In order to apply to our program, you DO NOT need to have taken NCLEX or IELTS prior to applying. We have a fully sponsored NCLEX program as well as an English Program to help you prepare for both exams as you will need them for Visa Screen purposes.
How long does it take IELTS test validity, after passing the test before
Hello, it's valid for 2 years.
But direct hire gives you a good amount of time for orientation as a new grad or foreign trained nurse. The problem I have learnt from agencies is that when they get you a job, the hospital expects you to get the ground running cos they expect u know what u re doing. I see that as risking one’s license. A new grad or foreign trained nurse needs at least 4 months orientation before settling to work independently.
That's why it's important to work with an agency that provides comprehensive clinical preparation prior to working on assignment. At Avant, we offer a clinical preparation program, a clinical transitions program, and RNs do go through orientation with our clients. Nurses are also assigned a Nurse Manager from our team that serves as the liaison between the nurse and the our client. Our support continues throughout the contract term.
