PPS & Unistaff celebrates 19 years of partnership. Thank you, Ms. Mary!

 

For 19 remarkable years, Professional Placement Services (PPS) and Universal Staffing Services, Inc. (Unistaff) and have stood together with one shared vision: to open the doors of opportunity for talented and dedicated Filipino nurses to live and work in the United States.

Since 2006, this enduring partnership has been defined by trust, collaboration, and results. They continue to help thousands of nurses turn the dream of a U.S. career into a life-changing reality. It’s a story of perseverance, of overcoming challenges, and of building futures, one nurse at a time.

A Partnership Rooted in Purpose

When PPS and Unistaff first formed their partnership, the goal was clear: connect world-class Filipino healthcare professionals with U.S. hospitals in need of their expertise. For nineteen years, this collaboration has delivered not only job offers, but careers, community impact, and hope for families across the Philippines.

The U.S. healthcare system continues to face a critical shortage of skilled nurses. Filipino nurses, known worldwide for their compassion, resilience, and clinical excellence, have played a vital role in filling that gap. The partnership between PPS and Unistaff has been a strong bridge that made this possible.

From Dream to Reality: Nurses Who Inspire

Behind every deployment is a story of determination and courage. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of supporting thousands of nurses through the complex process of U.S. licensure, immigration, and relocation.

  • Virgie Roy waited six long years after passing her NCLEX before finally stepping into her first U.S. nursing role. Her perseverance paid off. She not only built a fulfilling career in the U.S. but also became an advocate for policies that protect and strengthen the nursing workforce. Her story reminds us that patience, preparedness, and passion can change lives.

  • Rhoda Madrid faced visa retrogression, health battles, and personal challenges that would have made many give up. But she held on to her dream, and in 2016, she and her family began their new life in Arizona. She calls her U.S. nursing journey “worth every struggle." And she now encourages other nurses to stay patient and focused.

  • Glenn Gregorio took the leap more than a decade ago, securing a role in a prestigious U.S. hospital. Years later, he’s not only thriving professionally but has also provided his family with stability and opportunity. His gratitude for the life he’s built is matched only by his dedication to his patients and profession.

These are just three of the many success stories born from this partnership. These stories speak to the heart of why we do what we do.
