Shortage of nurses in the USA
The shortage of nurses in the American labor market has become much more acute since the advent of the coronavirus pandemic. According to data from the US Bureau of Labor Statisticsthe American labor market will need more than 275,000 nurses by 2030.
There is a great need on the part of the American government to train and attract new nurses to the country, which led the Department of Labor to announce in October 2022 an investment of 80 million dollars in the training of new nurses in the USA.
In addition, the growth rate for nursing vacancies will be 9% by 2026, a higher average than most occupations in the American labor market.
The departure of many professionals from the labor market during the covid-19 pandemic and the need to train and attract new nurses due to the aging population makes the American market an excellent destination for you, Brazilian nurse!

A mostly private market with dollar salaries that attract professionals from all over the world. And you could be one of these professionals migrating to the United States on EB-1 or EB-2 visas.
EB-1 and EB-2 visas
The EB-1 and EB-2 visas were created in 1990 through the Immigration Act. The Immigration Act was enacted to facilitate the entry of qualified immigrants into the USA in order to promote the technical, economic, social, environmental and scientific progress of the United States.
In this way, immigrants who can prove their qualifications and eligibility for US immigration can obtain their respective Green Cards using their professional qualifications.
Healthcare is essential to the development and well-being of any country. That's why doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and psychologists can use their professional expertise to immigrate to the United States.
The EB-1 visa only covers professionals with extraordinary ability in their respective fields. On the other hand, the EB-2 visa also covers experienced professionals with exceptional skills, so this is the category that most professionals fall into.
EB-2 Visa: How to get your Green Card
If you have a bachelor's degree in nursing, more than five years ' professional experience and exceptional or extraordinary skills in your field, you may be eligible for a Green Card!
And, if you are approved for a Green Card under this visa category, your spouse and children under the age of 21 will also be granted their respective Green Cards.
All this without you needing a previous job offer in the United States.
Whether you want to enhance your professional career, earn your salary in dollars, move permanently from Brazil, or secure a stable and prosperous future for you and your children, America is the ideal destination for you!
