Lawsuit Investigation: International Healthcare Staffing Agencies and Foreign Nurse Recruitment and Placement Practices
Stueve Siegel Hanson, a national litigation firm representing healthcare workers, is investigating potential claims against staffing agencies for taking advantage of foreign-born nurses brought to the United States to work as nurses and being paid less than expected, at a different facility than expected, and/or confronted with a buyout or termination fee if the contract or assignment ends early, regardless of fault.

We’re aware that international staffing agencies sometimes sign a contract with foreign born nurses and then, following years of immigration paperwork and moving to the United States, the nurses are coerced into a “travel nurse” agreement or assignment and forced to work in a location other than what was promised, for a pay rate less than was promised, with either no guaranteed hours or too many hours, and then if the travel assignment is terminated for any reason, the agency sends a termination fee or contract buyout for the breach of contract. Or threatens to do so.
If you have experienced an issue with your contract as a foreign-born nurse, please contact TVPA@stuevesiegel.com with any questions.
Our firm represents healthcare workers in a variety of areas, including pay discrimination, failure to compensate for all hours worked, sexual harassment and abuse at the workplace, and human trafficking.
