Global Nurse Partners

Global Nurse Partners is a nurse placement agency that specialises in international recruitment for permanent positions with US healthcare facilities. It brings internationally experienced nurses and US healthcare facilities together, and describes itself as a private company based in Salem, Massachusetts.

Its Partnership Program covers international recruitment and direct hire services. For nurses, it includes support with the transition to life in the US. For facilities, it is meant to help them reach recruitment and retention goals with a supported permanent solution. The company says facilities no longer need to pay high bill rates for an extended period to secure a fully supported staffing solution.

The company was created by its founder, Sylvia Mullarkey, who is originally from Ireland. She has assisted international nurses since 1997, and earlier worked with O'Grady-Peyton International and helped establish Assignment America, the international recruitment company of Cross Country Healthcare. Global Nurse Partners is a Certified Ethical Recruiter, designated by the Alliance for Ethical International Recruitment Practices, a CGFNS International division.
