Grandison Grand Partners' Dinner: The Future Is Bright for Filipino Nurses Going to the U.S.
PTE Magic Philippines joined Grandison Grand Partners’ Dinner at Cafe Ilang-Ilang, Manila Hotel last April 16, 2026. It was more than a dinner. It was a room full of partners who share one mission: helping Filipino nurses achieve their global dreams.
We also learned something important that night.
The demand for Pinoy nurses in the U.S. is not slowing down. It is accelerating.
About Grandison Nursing: 16 Years of Filipino Healthcare Deployment
Grandison Nursing is a U.S.-based nurse staffing company that connects Filipino nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists with skilled nursing facilities across the United States. The company has been in the industry for over 16 years.
What sets Grandison apart:
- DMW-accredited recruitment through licensed Philippine partner agencies. No illegal placement fees.
- Employer-sponsored visa processing covering airfare, licensing, exam reimbursements, and relocation support
- Pre-deployment training including geriatric nursing skills, SNF cultural orientation, and clinical refresher courses
- Post-arrival support with professional development, housing guidance, and cultural adjustment assistance
- Accepts nurses with no bedside experience and provides structured training to get them job-ready
Grandison’s track record speaks volumes. They recently celebrated 50 nurses completing their full U.S. contracts, and over 70 additional nurses are now current in the EB-3 visa pipeline (Grandison Nursing, 2026).
The U.S. Healthcare Staffing Market Is Booming
The numbers tell the full story. The U.S. healthcare staffing market reached an estimated $45.48 billion in 2025. Analysts project it will grow to $89.71 billion by 2033, at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 7% (Coherent Market Insights, 2026).
Several forces are driving this growth:
- Aging population: By 2030, every Baby Boomer in America will be older than 65. That creates massive demand for nursing care, long-term care, and allied health services (U.S. Census Bureau, 2023).
- Clinician shortage: The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) projects a shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036. Internationally educated nurses fill the gaps that doctors cannot (AAMC, 2024).
- Nurse vacancy crisis: The national RN vacancy rate sits at 9.6%, and it takes an average of 83 days to recruit a single experienced nurse. More than 1 million RNs are projected to retire by 2030 (NSI, 2025).
- Schedule A advantage: Nursing and physical therapy are on the U.S. Department of Labor’s Schedule A list. Filipino healthcare candidates can bypass the lengthy PERM labor certification process, which speeds up the EB-3 visa pathway significantly (U.S. DOL, 2024).
What does all of this mean for Filipino healthcare workers? Opportunity. And lots of it.
