Lighting the way for legal, ethical, and socially responsible international healthcare recruitment
Health Carousel International's steadfast dedication to the highest standards of ethical recruitment is without equal in the industry. We are a founding member of the American Association of International Healthcare Recruitment. As such, we not only adhere to the AAIHR Code, but we helped write the standard for ethical practices others in our industry follow.
“The American Association of International Healthcare Recruitment recognizes the right of international healthcare professionals to migrate and the corresponding potential benefits of such migration to healthcare professionals, their families, and their countries of origin, as well as to healthcare organizations patients in the United States. AAIHR believes that the legal and ethical recruitment of global healthcare professionals to the United States to meet the needs of U.S. healthcare organizations and patients provides benefits to both the individual healthcare professional and American society as a whole.”

WE AIM TO:
1) SUPPORT NURSES:
Through Light the Way we are making substantial financial and administrative commitments, but it’s much needed to support the nursing profession and its many challenges that grew during the pandemic.
2) SUSTAIN THE PROFESSION:
Due to existing nursing shortages, the aging of the nursing workforce, and the growing COVID-19 effect, the International Council of Nurses estimates up to 13 million nurses will be needed to fill the global nurse shortage gap in the future. Light the Way initiatives aim to lessen this shortfall of RNs globally and in the U.S.
CURRENT INITIATIVES:
1) Global sustainability of nurses
2) Professional development and training for nurses globally
3) Ethical recruitment of nurses globally
