Insights from Research
The healthcare system in the US faces a critical shortage of nurses, with a deficit of ~2 million needed professionals as the population ages and chronic diseases become more prevalent. Concurrently, nurses in Mexico encounter limited career growth opportunities and low valuation of their profession. These insights reveal a significant mismatch between the supply of qualified nurses in Mexico and the demand in the US, where nurses can earn up to 8x what they would in Mexico.
