InterSource Health System is an international job matching consultant that acts as
a useful and effective intermediary between our international nurse clients and
U.S.-based hospital/healthcare institution clients. Our hospital/healthcare
clients pay us a one-time fee that is competitive to domestic relocation fees
and signing bonuses. Our nurses enter into a minimum two-year contract directly
with the hospital. Once the international nurse is employed, the hospitals pay
the nurse directly, with no further agency commissions, with no further
obligations to InterSource Health System.
Recruiting
Our RN clients come from a
number of countries that are well known for their strong nursing education
system, internationally standardized nursing practices as well as the spirit of
tender loving care. We begin by hosting an information session for all
interested nurses. The information session lasts for almost 3 hours in which
all matters pertaining to
U.S.
nurse licensure and immigration requirements are presented
in details to the nurses. From there, our unique process of screening and
educating candidates begins.
Screening
-
All candidates are
required to take our proprietary Placement Evaluation (PE) before
advancing in our program. The PE generates a comprehensive analytical result in
the areas of general aptitude, English capability, and NCLEX-RN preparedness.
As part of the PE, we also evaluate their resume and transcripts (theoretical
and clinical), We believe that our PE is an excellent predictor of future
success in the NCLEX licensure.
-
Those candidates
who have passed the PE are then interviewed by our specialist
counselor. In addition, the nurse client is given a career counseling
session. InterSource interviews and counsels each candidate in order to
determine which nurses possess the experience, motivation, and education to
succeed. In doing that, we are ensuring that the nurse has a high probability
for success not only in the NCLEX licensure, but also in his or her lifetime
career as a registered nurse in the
United States
.

Education
-
Nurses passing the
Placement Evaluation are encouraged to enroll in our highly acclaimed
preparation courses. They may opt to attend preparation courses somewhere else,
but most nurses decide to rely their preparation with our internationally
experienced instructors and training staff. For most of our nurse clients, our
preparation course runs for about 9-12 months. Some nurses who are better
prepared can complete the program in less than 6 months. The InterSource
preparation program covers Foundation English, IELTS Preparation and Final
Coaching, and NCLEX/CGFNS Preparation. The program features highly qualified
instructors along with the best method of teaching & study system. In
addition, we also help our nurse clients in handling the credential
requirements for obtaining a permission to take the NCLEX-RN exam as well as
(when necessary) the CGFNS exam.
-
Only those nurses
who pass our regular mock-up try-outs for 3 (three) consecutive times will be
given a green light to sit the official CGFNS exam or official NCLEX-RN.
InterSource believes that the combination of our accurate Placement Evaluation
and well known solid preparation program will result in a 80-90% probability
factor of securing a pass-mark.
-
Depending upon the
requirement of the state board where the hospital/healthcare institution is
located, the candidates will sit the official CGFNS in their home countries.
Finally, after passing the official CGFNS exam, the candidates travel to
Hongkong for the official NCLEX-RN exam. This way, InterSource nurse
clients have already passed the NCLEX (and CGFNS, if required by the state
board) before they attend interviews with the prospective
U.S.
hospitals/healthcare institutions.
Placement
Interviews
-
Our suggestion is
for our hospital clients to interview the nurses as soon as your schedule
permits. This may be during an education stage or after they pass their
official CGFNS exam and/or official NCLEX-RN exam. The hospital may conduct the
interview in the nurses home countries, by video-/internet-based conferencing,
or even by recorded video if practical.
-
The relationship
that forms between the nurse clients, InterSource, and the hospital clients
is unique. As it becomes aware to us which candidates are likely to
succeed - through the most rigorous process in the industry to our knowledge-
we help them choose placements that fit their long-term goals. As a result,
an InterSource nurse is extremely more likely to accept the position you
offer and to remain with you over the contract period or longer.
-
In the cases when
your chosen nurses are interviewed at the time of sitting for the NCLEX or
CGFNS, we will inform you of the results. InterSource will help to
communicate your job offers and acceptances.

InterSource will
administer all or part of the immigration process, depending on the mutually
agreed plan.
