Direct Hire. Nurse-Led. Built for Long-Term Success.
AOLA Healthcare provides direct-hire international nurses — pre-screened, credentialed, and prepared for long-term success in U.S. hospitals. At AOLA, we take a modern, ethical, and effective approach to international nurse recruitment. Our Direct Hire model connects U.S. healthcare facilities with highly skilled international nurses for permanent, full-time positions — not short-term contracts or agency staffing.
We’re a nurse-led organization, which means we understand the clinical, cultural, and emotional journey that comes with relocating and integrating into a new healthcare system. That insight shapes every part of our process.
What Sets Us Apart
Direct Hire Placement
Nurses become permanent employees of your facility from day one — ensuring team consistency, better retention, and higher patient care standards.
Full-Cycle Recruitment
We manage every step: sourcing, screening, licensing, immigration (EB-3), onboarding, and cultural transition.
Visa & Legal Support
Our experienced team handles all aspects of the EB-3 visa process — from PERM to green card — in partnership with immigration attorneys.
Retention-Focused Agreements
Every nurse signs a 2–3 year employment commitment. Our reimbursement clause protects your investment if a nurse resigns early without cause.
Flexible Packages
Partner with AOLA through our Founding Partner (limited availability), Base, or Premium recruitment packages — each designed for hospitals seeking ethical, long-term staffing solutions.

Why Hire International Nurses?
Solve Persistent Staffing Shortages: The U.S. nursing shortage is growing, especially in critical care, long-term care, and rural facilities. International nurses provide a sustainable pipeline of qualified talent when local hiring can’t keep up. 
Cost-Effective Alternative to Staffing Agencies: Hiring directly avoids ongoing markups and hourly premiums. You pay a one-time recruitment fee and gain a full-time team member — not a temp. 
Long-Term Retention: With AOLA’s direct hire model and commitment agreements (typically 2–3 years), international nurses bring stability and consistency, reducing the turnover costs associated with travel nurses or agency staff. 
Diverse, Culturally Competent Care: International nurses bring global perspectives and strengthen cultural competency, helping serve diverse patient populations more effectively. 
Highly Qualified & Experienced: International nurses are often bachelor-prepared, English-proficient, and have 3–5+ years of clinical experience — many in acute or high-acuity settings. 
EB-3 Visa Provides Long-Term Work Authorization: International nurses under the EB-3 visa pathway are on track for permanent residency, allowing them to stay, grow, and advance within your organization.
By hiring international nurses through AOLA, you are investing in a long-term solution that enhances the quality of care, reduces staffing costs, and fosters a committed workforce. Together, we can help you meet the growing demand for skilled nursing staff while ensuring the success of your healthcare facility.
