Even if you've never been to America, you likely have
a notion or two of what to expect. While Hollywood movies capture
the geographic diversity of this vast country, it's up to you to
discover its essence, from the patriotism that bonds Americans together
to the cultural differences that give each region its distinctive
personality.
Land of opportunity
Your experience of America will be as unique as you
are, for the choices you make will define the country for you. Will
you live in one of New England's established cities, densely populated
with universities and financial centers, or seasonless, sunny, southern
California? Will your interests and experience lead you to an urban
trauma center, a large teaching facility or community-based hospital?
Once you've joined the Assignment America family, your Retention
Coordinator will assess your clinical skills and your preferences
and help you find a job that suits you.
We make the foreign familiar
Many international RNs discover that nursing
practice varies from their home countries. Some differences are
humorous-you're certain to be puzzled at first by some common terms
for everyday items-while some can be daunting. Nurses in the U.S.
are an integral part of the patient care team, and must make care
decisions based on patient assessments. Assignment America will
help you develop the necessary skills to make comprehensive assessments,
and you'll discover that these heightened responsibilities bring
a higher level of professional respect from physicians and your
colleagues.
Despite contrasts large and small, your counterparts
in the U.S. will be familiar in many important respects. They're
as dedicated to patient care and as committed to advancing their
knowledge and skills as nurses back home. You're just as likely
to find that the people you meet are equally curious about you and
interested in your experiences-often the foundation for memorable
friendships.
