Immigration Updates: What You Should Know

There have been several encouraging immigration developments recently, along with a few areas we are still watching closely.

Join PRS Global President Kara Murphy and immigration attorney Sherry Neal for a 30-minute conversation about what these updates may mean for international healthcare professionals and their journey to the U.S.

They’ll discuss:
• Where immigrant visa interviews stand following recent public-charge training
• What the end of the 75-country visa pause means for professionals whose cases have been held
• Recent H-1B developments and what they may mean for healthcare professionals and employers
• What we’re watching as we head into the October Visa Bulletin and a new fiscal year
• How different immigration pathways may create opportunities depending on the healthcare professional, employer and role

Our goal is to share clear information about the progress we are seeing, the questions that remain, and what you may need to know as your case moves forward.

Wednesday, September 9 | 2:00 p.m. ET | 30 minutes

We hope you’ll join us.

Adding nurses is an important step toward workforce stability, but growth also creates new operational demands. New team members need guidance, managers need visibility, and existing teams need enough capacity to support integration without losing focus on daily operations.

For mid-size systems, the challenge is rarely recognizing the need to grow the workforce. It is making sure the environment can absorb that growth successfully.

Sustainable workforce planning continues after positions are filled. The systems, processes, and support structures surrounding new hires determine whether growth strengthens the organization or adds pressure to teams already operating near capacity.

Clinical experience gives nurses a strong foundation, but every healthcare system has its own workflows, communication norms, team structures, and expectations.

Preparing for a new role is not about starting over, but understanding how the experience you already have fits within a different clinical environment.

Your judgment, patient care skills, and professional discipline still matter. The transition involves carrying those strengths forward while learning how to apply them within a new system.

Growth happens when experience and adaptation work together.

The way internationally educated nurses enter an organization influences more than their first day.

It shapes how quickly they become part of the team and how they contribute over time.

In our latest Viewpoint conversation, Miriam Batke of Fisher-Titus Medical Center shares why direct employment helps internationally educated nurses integrate through the same culture, onboarding, and support systems as every other employee. That consistency strengthens relationships early and creates opportunities for nurses to grow into mentors, preceptors, and long-term contributors.

When healthcare organizations think beyond filling vacancies and focus on building permanent teams, workforce planning becomes a long-term investment rather than a short-term solution.

Rising labor costs affect more than payroll. They influence the resources healthcare organizations have available for patient care, future investments, and long-term growth.

In our latest Viewpoint conversation, Miriam Batke, CHRO at Fisher-Titus Medical Center, explains how the cost of maintaining competitive wages and benefits puts additional pressure on operating margins, especially when hospitals have limited ability to pass those increases on to payers.

For rural and community hospitals, that pressure is compounded by smaller labor pools, an aging workforce, and the need to compete for critical caregivers. The financial consequences make it increasingly difficult to separate workforce decisions from broader organizational strategy.

Planning ahead isn't simply about avoiding future vacancies. It's about building a workforce approach that protects financial resilience and helps communities maintain access to care close to home.

We explore this perspective and more insights from Fisher-Titus leaders in our blog. Link in the comment.

When you're working toward a major goal, it's easy to focus on what still needs to happen. The next document. The next update. The next milestone. The next step in the process.

What often gets overlooked is how much progress has already happened.

A few years ago, many international nurses were only beginning to explore the possibility of working in the United States. Today, they may have completed exams, gathered documentation, advanced through immigration milestones, and started preparing for an entirely new chapter.

Progress rarely feels dramatic while it's happening. It often looks like consistent effort over time. If you're still moving forward, even when the process feels slow, remember that every completed step matters.

The journey is not defined by one milestone. It is built through many.

The right international hiring partner does more than help a nurse reach a hospital. It helps create the conditions for that nurse to succeed once they get there.

In our latest Viewpoint conversation with Fisher-Titus, Stacy Daniel, Director of Clinical Programs, shared why alignment around organizational values matters and how continued support can extend well beyond placement.

At Fisher-Titus, that support included community mentors who helped internationally educated nurses build relationships outside the hospital, find their footing in Norwalk, and begin to feel at home.

That kind of partnership recognizes that successful integration is both clinical and personal. For healthcare organizations thinking about international direct hire as part of a longer-term workforce strategy, those details can make a meaningful difference.

We explore these insights in our blog. Read how a strong international hiring partnership can support nurses and organizations beyond recruitment:

Retention is often discussed through compensation, staffing levels, and workforce shortages.

Those factors matter. But long-term retention is also influenced by something less visible. Whether people can see a future for themselves within the organization.

Professional growth, leadership opportunities, expanded responsibilities, and clinical development. These signals shape how connected people feel to their work and their organization.

This is especially important in rural and critical access settings, where experienced nurses often become essential contributors to both patient care and organizational continuity.

Retention is not only about encouraging people to stay. It is about creating reasons to grow.

Workforce stability strengthens when nurses can envision their future where they already are. Explore how PRS Global supports long-term workforce planning 👉 https://hubs.ly/Q04rZ2cF0

Workforce planning conversations often focus on future hiring needs. But another question deserves equal attention.

Who is developing the next generation of clinical leaders?

Experienced nurses contribute far more than direct patient care:

- They provide mentorship.

- They transfer knowledge.

- They support clinical decision-making.

- They help shape unit culture.

As healthcare organizations look ahead, succession planning becomes a workforce stability issue. Not because leaders are leaving tomorrow, but because expertise takes time to develop.

Organizations that think long term create opportunities for knowledge, leadership, and experience to move intentionally through the workforce.

Workforce stability depends not only on today's staffing decisions. It depends on how future capability is being developed right now.
