Cruise Dyno has been providing international nurses to healthcare facilities for over 20 years.
1. Many countries including USA, UK, Ireland, Australia & Canada are facing a shortage of nursing professionals. There are simply more positions than there are qualified nurses to fill them.
2. With aging populations and the rise in chronic diseases, health systems everywhere are under strain.
3. Healthcare facilities have been turning to international nurses for decades. International nurses do not take jobs away from domestic nurses; they simply supplement your current staff and provide care and comfort to your patients.
If your facility is considering international recruitment, you will come across two very different models:
Direct Hire
Once the international nurse arrives at your facility, he/she becomes your permanent employee and receives the same salary and benefits as your regular nursing staff.
Contract Hire
The international nurse is employed by a staffing agency that contracts their services to your facility. Agencies usually charge hefty fees which can increase your staffing expenditure substantially.
At Cruise Dyno, we believe your nurse staffing crisis can be solved by placing permanent, international nurses at your facility. We believe these direct-hire nurses can deliver more consistent quality of care for your patients and reduce your overall spend on recruitment.
We provide a turnkey recruiting solution for healthcare facilities, starting with the sourcing and screening of international nurses from India and around the world, facilitation of the hiring process, management of immigration paperwork, candidate credentialing, licensure and coordination of the relocation process. We provide these services for a flat fee per applicant.
Cruise Dyno works with each candidate to ensure they have completed their English language, credentialing and licensure requirements for the country/state of intended employment.
Cruise Dyno has placed thousands of English-speaking nurses with healthcare facilities throughout the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada & Australia.
We are licensed by Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India and have a steady pipeline of highly skilled nurses looking to live and work overseas.

1. International nurse recruitment solves the nursing supply and demand issues that exist domestically.
2. Permanent, international nurses can provide stability to your nursing workforce that results in greater continuity of care, optimal patient outcomes and higher levels of patient satisfaction.
3. International nurses can also reduce your facility’s dependence on expensive contingent staff.
Cruise Dyno manages the immigration process for all the nurses you hire. All applicants arrive at your facility with proper work visas and necessary immigration documents.
