Joseph is originally from Kenya. In this blog, he shares his story about becoming a USRN with Avant Healthcare Professionals. Joseph now has a successful career and life as a US-RN. 

Introduction and Background:  

From a young age, I was driven by a deep desire to care for others and make a meaningful difference in their lives during their most vulnerable moments. This passion led me to nursing, where I could have a direct, positive impact on people's health and well-being. 

The Decision to Move:

When the opportunity arose to move to the USA, I was drawn by the vast possibilities for professional growth and the advanced training and education the country offers. I knew that pursuing my nursing career here would not only allow me to expand my skills but also enable me to contribute to the healthcare system in a more dynamic way. 

Why I Chose Avant Healthcare Professionals:

A friend introduced me to Avant Healthcare Professionals, and after learning about their program, I was inspired to join. What stood out to me was their comprehensive benefits and the incredible support they offer to nurses like myself. One of the most valuable aspects of the program is their transitions program, which played a crucial role in ensuring my success as I embarked on this new chapter of my life and career in the USA. 

Adjusting to my New Life in the USA:

“Nursing is tough, but so are you.” This quote resonates deeply with me. The challenges we face as nurses are part of the journey. One of the biggest hurdles for me was learning the U.S. healthcare system and its specific protocols. But with the help of Avant Healthcare Professionals and my preceptor, I was able to navigate these complexities with ease and confidence. 

Employee of the Month Nomination:

One of the most unexpected honors I've received in my career so far was being named Employee of the Month in my unit. I was taken by surprise when I saw my name, and reading the patient reviews on the appreciation board was truly touching. This recognition reinforced the profound impact nurses can have on the lives of their patients—something I’m proud to contribute to every day. 

Advice for Aspiring US-RNs:

To aspiring nurses who dream of moving to the USA, my advice is simple: stay focused and be resilient. The journey may be challenging at times, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. The key to success is having a genuine desire to provide high-quality patient care while seeking to grow both personally and professionally.
