Registered Nurses and Auxiliary Nurses
If you are a born citizen of South Africa and a registered nurse or auxiliary nurse who would like to live and work permanently in the United States, please view our program details and then click "Join Wait List" below. Unfortunately, due to government regulations, we are only able to work with registered and auxiliary nurses at this time. Enrolled nurses do not qualify.
Program Requirements
Education
We require all nurses to have graduated from a SANC-approved nursing education program. Registered nurses must have a bachelor's degree in nursing or a 4-year diploma/bridging course. Auxiliary nurses need to hold a 1-year certificate.
Licensing and NCLEX Passing
All registered nurses who qualify will be required to obtain a license to work as a nurse in the U.S. You will also be required to take and pass the NCLEX.
South African Citizenship
Due to government regulations, we are currently only able to work with nurses who were born in South Africa. We hope to expand to other countries in the near future.
English Language Proficiency
While we do not require a formal test, your English language skills will be assessed for fluency by our team in the United States.
Relocation
You will be matched with an employer that we deem a fit for your skills and experience. You will be required to relocate to the U.S. for at least three years, but the goal is citizenship.
Program Details
The goal of the Experienced Associates EB-3 Visa Program is to create a path to U.S. citizenship for nurses and their immediate family members by providing employment as a professional nurse in the United States.
Experienced Associates only partners with the country's best healthcare providers – ones with low turnover. We believe that low turnover is the best indicator of a GOOD employer – when employees stay, the company is doing something right. That usually means great pay, top benefits, life balance, and employees being treated well.

When you uproot your whole life, you have to be certain it's worth it. When you choose to work with Experienced Associates, it will be.
