Health Carousel: Providing Nursing Education and Workforce Solutions Globally

The COVID-19 pandemic has put a strain on the nursing workforce worldwide, making advanced skill levels for nurses. Filipino nurses are known for their quantity and quality of healthcare and have been in high demand worldwide for years. Approximately 20 percent of nurses in California are Filipino. With this huge demand, the Health Carousel is helping by training Filipino nurse professors. The organization continues to lead the way in boosting nursing education resources. The Health Carousel Philippines (or HCPI) promotes the development, sustainability, and recruitment of nurses globally.

Whether it is vacation, attrition, or nurses’ illnesses, medical facilities, and hospitals struggle to meet the needs of their patients. The Health Carousel is a conduit for staffing requests with efficient recruiters and infrastructure that quickly identify the right candidate for each position.

Also, HCPIs can provide resources and training to nurses while they deliver high-quality patient care and ease staffing shortages.

• Role-playing Exercises
• Virtual Reality
• E-learning Programs
