Post from: CATTO International


Nursing in the USA

Nursing Jobs Available now in

California (CA), Florida (FL), Texas (TX) and Arizona

Other state placements coming soon!

We currently recruit nurses from the UK and overseas for permanent nursing jobs in the USA. Catto provides a personal service for qualified nurses, who wish to pursue a nursing career in a number of US states in North America. We work directly with a US based immigration attorney to give our applicants a quick service, that is overseen by top level immigration experts. The positions we offer are permanent, direct nursing placements with US hospitals, and our applicants are eligible for all benefits a regular employee would gain. Unlike other some recruitment agencies, our applicants do not have to pay agency fees.

For nurses who have not yet taken their NCLEX exam, we also offer a high standard study programme, with full support through text books and online testing from home.

Who we recruit for permanent contracts

At Catto International, we work directly with a USA office and immigration attorneys to provide nurses with Green Cards and a permanent job offer (i.e. payroll via hospital and not agency).

Catto are looking for nurses currently working in most ward settings. Some client hospitals accept new graduates, however some will expect 1-2 years experience and hold one of the following qualifications.

Project 2000 RGN's - Registered General Nurses

Diploma RGN's SEN - Senior Enrolled Nurse + Conversion also accepted

Diploma RMNs - Registered Mental Nurses with dual training as an RGN - Registered General Nurse

BScNs - Bachelor of Science in Nursing


NCLEX Status

Catto offer an NCLEX home study programme therefore it is not a requirement to approach us as an NCLEX passer. All you require is access to a computer with an internet connection.


Clinical areas for permanent contracts

We recruit for a number of different clinical areas such as ITU / Intensive Care, HDU / High Dependency, A&E / ER, theatres / OR, medical, surgical, oncology and cardiology / coronary care. More recently, our Texas client hospital near Dallas is looking for midwives and our Houston client hospital is looking for oncology nurses.


Clinical levels

We assist nurses to secure jobs within the above-mentioned clinical areas. D grades to G grades are welcome.


No jobs page

We have set contracts with the hospitals in California, Florida, Texas and Arizona. We try to match the person to the hospital and geographical location if they do not have a preference. If someone is completely open to all hospitals, we will of course have all three hospitals consider them. The demand for certain jobs change from month to month hence we do not have a nursing jobs page.


Target recruitment countries

We have recruited over 24 nationalities of nurses to USA hospitals. The only stipulation we have is that nurses must be living and working in the UK, or be living overseas and have passed their NCLEX exam. At the moment we are processing documentation from nurses with the following nationalities: British, Swedish, Filipino, Indian, Nigerian, Jamaican, Italian, Ukrainian, Mexican etc to mention a few.


Core values and beliefs

We respect all job seekers and believe that candidates who are treated with respect and given responsibility respond by giving their best.
