SNF Role

Director of Nursing (DON) TN Visa Jobs

Canadian nurse leaders, matched with US skilled nursing facilities hiring Directors of Nursing under TN status.

Why US skilled nursing facilities are hiring Canadian Director of Nursing talent

This role sees immense executive turnover in US skilled nursing facilities, and experienced Canadian nurse managers bypass a lot of the corporate red tape that slows down domestic hires.

Because DON turnover is so disruptive to a facility's operations and survey readiness, ownership groups move decisively once they find a candidate with genuine leadership experience.
