Omega Healthcare, a global leader in healthcare outsourcing and revenue cycle management (RCM) solutions, continues to champion the professional growth of Filipino nurses through its flagship USRN Academy—a transformative program designed to help Philippine Registered Nurses (PHRNs) become certified United States Registered Nurses (USRNs).
Unlocking global opportunities for Filipino nurses
The USRN Academy serves as both a bridge and a launchpad—bridging local nursing expertise with international standards while launching Filipino professionals into rewarding global careers. Created to meet the rising global demand for skilled nurses, the academy goes beyond certification. It provides clear, upward career pathways for PHRNs, empowering them to elevate their clinical skills, gain global credentials, and secure higher earning potential—all without leaving the Philippines.
“Through the USRN Academy, we empower Filipino nurses to achieve international certification while staying close to home,” said Everem Tejada, Deputy General Manager – Service Line and head of the USRN Academy at Omega Healthcare. “This program not only enhances our clinical workforce but also gives our nurses meaningful opportunities for career advancement and personal growth.”
A culture of learning and excellence
Omega Healthcare’s USRN Academy delivers a holistic, end-to-end learning experience. Participants undergo intensive, structured training tailored to U.S. healthcare standards—covering clinical practices, patient care protocols, and real-world applications. With mentorship and full support for certification requirements, the program ensures that nurses can focus entirely on mastering their craft.
Once certified, graduates are seamlessly integrated into Omega Healthcare’s clinical operations, where they continue to hone their expertise in patient care management, medical documentation, and telehealth support for U.S.-based clients.
Consistent success, measurable impact
Since its inception, the USRN Academy has maintained an exceptional success rate—between 96% and 97% passing rates from 2022 to 2025. This achievement underscores the effectiveness of Omega Healthcare’s training model and its commitment to developing world-class Filipino healthcare professionals.
In 2025 alone, the company aims to transition over 200 PHRNs into USRNs—a milestone that reflects both its confidence in Filipino talent and its investment in the nation’s healthcare excellence.
Building a future for Filipino talent
Beyond professional advancement, the program creates tangible benefits for Filipino nurses and their families. By earning globally recognized credentials and competitive salaries locally, participants can enjoy stability, contribute to the healthcare system, and continue serving communities in the Philippines—all while achieving international success.
“Investing in Filipino nurses is investing in the future of healthcare,” Tejada added. “Our goal is to help them reach global standards, fulfill their ambitions, and make a lasting impact—both here and abroad.”
