The AAIHR has a zero-tolerance policy for member violations of our ethical recruitment policy. Our Independent Review Board protects international nurses.
We're the voice for foreign-educated health care professionals in the US.
For more than 70 years, foreign health care professionals have treated US patients.
But they've never been more central to the delivery of quality health care in this country than in the last two years, when the nursing shortage has reached crisis levels.
We fight to give voice to international nurses and the health systems and American families who depend on them.

There are thousands of qualified international nurses who have passed background checks, US licensure and English language exams, but cannot complete their visa applications because of green card apportionment rules. The HWRA would fix that.
As a condition of membership in AAIHR, organizations must pledge support and adherence to a strict and detailed code of ethics, which the association administers through an Independent Review Board.
