Recognized for transforming how international nurses are hired, paid, and integrated into U.S. healthcare
Virginia Beach, VA – March 2025 – Alere Care Solutions, a leader in ethical international nurse recruitment, proudly announces that its Chief Clinical Officer, Jocelyn Musni, has been honored with the 2025 TruMerit DAISY Award for Outstanding International Nurse Recruiter.
This prestigious recognition highlights Alere Care Solutions’ groundbreaking approach to international nurse hiring—focusing on direct hospital employment, fair pay, and long-term career integration. The award was presented at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City, reinforcing the global significance of ethical recruitment practices.
“This award is not just for me—it’s for every international nurse who has taken the courageous step to work in a new country,” said Musni. “As an immigrant and nurse myself, I understand the challenges they face. Alere Care Solutions ensures every nurse we place is treated fairly, respected, and positioned for long-term success.”
Alere Care Solutions: The New Standard in International Nurse Recruitment
For too long, internationally educated nurses (IENs) have been underpaid, locked into unfair contracts, or left to navigate the U.S. system alone. Unlike traditional staffing agencies that treat nurses as temporary workers, Alere Care Solutions is reshaping the industry with a nurse-first, sustainable recruitment model that supports both hospitals and healthcare professionals for the long term—because nurses become permanent hospital employees from day one. This direct-hire approach ensures that nurses are treated equitably, fully integrated into their teams, and set up for long-term career growth.
According to the International Council of Nurses (ICN), migrant nurses are often subjected to wage disparities, misleading job information, and exploitative working conditions—issues that have raised global concerns, including potential violations of federal anti-human trafficking laws. Alere’s model ensures that nurses are never subjected to deceptive practices, coercive contracts, or unfair treatment. Instead, they are welcomed into roles where they can grow and thrive.
Why Hospitals Choose Alere Care Solutions
• Direct hospital employment from day one – Nurses are hired directly by hospitals,
receiving:
– Full employee benefits (health insurance, paid time off, retirement plans)
– Equal pay as U.S.-trained nurses—no wage discrimination
– Promotion and career advancement opportunities
– Higher nurse retention rates – Because nurses are part of the hospital team
from day one, they are more likely to stay in the community, reducing
turnover and strengthening hospital workforce stability
• No staffing agency middlemen – Alere provides permanent staffing solutions that
improve continuity of care and long-term workforce stability.
• Comprehensive nurse integration support – Alere helps nurses thrive through:
– Hospital onboarding and mentorship programs
– Cultural and professional adjustment training
– Community-building resources and support networks
• Led by a former hospital president who understands workforce needs – Coleen
Santa Ana, CEO of Alere Care Solutions, brings years of experience as a hospital
president to lead an agency focused on nurse well-being and hospital staffing
success.
“For too long, international nurses have been undervalued, underpaid, and placed in unstable jobs,” said Santa Ana. “Alere Care Solutions is changing that. Nurses deserve equal pay, full benefits, and real career paths—not just temporary placements. Jocelyn has been instrumental in making this vision a reality.”
Global Recognition for Ethical Nurse Recruitment
The TruMerit DAISY Award for Outstanding International Nurse Recruiter recognizes individuals who uphold the highest standards of integrity in international recruitment. The award is a collaboration between TruMerit (formerly CGFNS) and The DAISY Foundation, two organizations dedicated to fair and transparent hiring of international nurses. As a proud member of the Alliance for Ethical International Recruitment Practices, Alere Care Solutions ensures that international nurses are never subjected to deceptive contracts, wage suppression, or mistreatment. Instead, Alere’s direct-hire model guarantees fair pay, transparent placement, and full support as nurses integrate into the U.S. healthcare system.
“We are grateful to Deb Zimmerman, CEO of The DAISY Foundation, and Peter Preziosi, CEO of TruMerit, for their leadership in recognizing the contributions of international nurses,” said Santa Ana. “At Alere Care Solutions, we will continue to stand up for fairness and respect in global nurse recruitment.”
