HOW WE MATCH

More than a job change. A move built around you.

We don't start with a vacancy and look for a nurse to fill it. We start with you — then match available employer opportunities to what you actually want.

Your specialty
Unit experience and the work you want to keep doing.
Preferred states
Where you'd like to live, not just where there's an opening.
Your timeline
Ready now, or planning a move over the next year.
Your goals
Short-term work experience or a long-term future in the U.S.
PATHWAYS

Two clear routes into U.S. nursing

Which pathway fits depends on your citizenship, goals, and timeline. We help you understand the options — the legal work sits with authorized professionals.

FASTER START

TN Pathway

For eligible Canadian citizen RNs in qualifying roles, TN status offers a comparatively quick, renewable route to working in the U.S. We coordinate the recruitment side and keep every step clear.

LONG-TERM SETTLEMENT

EB-3 Pathway

An employer-sponsored pathway toward long-term U.S. residence — built for nurses planning to settle. Immigration filings are handled by the appropriate employer-side authorized professionals.

Nurse Swift is not a law firm. Pathway fit and eligibility are individual, and outcomes are determined by U.S. government authorities.

WHY NURSE SWIFT

A placement model that puts the nurse first

Direct employer relationship

Successful candidates are hired by the U.S. healthcare employer — not positioned as agency staff.

Canada-to-U.S. specialization

One corridor, done properly. We work exclusively with nurses moving from Canada to the U.S.

Choice

Where multiple matches exist, you compare employers, cities, and units — and choose.

Human support

A named coordinator from first conversation to first shift — not a ticketing system.

Clear communication

Plain answers about requirements, pathways, and next steps. No promises we can't keep.

QUESTIONS

Before you ask

Do I need to be a Canadian citizen for the TN pathway?+

TN status is available to Canadian citizens in qualifying professions. Canadian permanent residents aren't eligible for TN, but may fit the employer-sponsored EB-3 pathway. Individual eligibility always varies.

Does Nurse Swift charge nurses a fee?+

Nurse Swift does not charge nurses a recruitment or placement fee. Third-party costs — such as licensing, exams, or government filing fees — may still apply depending on your situation.

Do I need the NCLEX-RN or a U.S. licence?+

Professional licensure is governed by each state board of nursing, and most U.S. roles require the NCLEX-RN plus a state licence. We help you understand what your matched employer requires.

How long does the process take?+

Timelines depend on your pathway, licensure, and the employer's process — so we don't promise fixed dates. We do keep you informed about where you are and what comes next.

Can I choose where I go?+

Your preferences lead the search. Where multiple employer matches exist, you compare and choose. Where options are limited, we tell you plainly rather than push a vacancy.
