For sponsors & investors — INVEST-01

You're not funding a course.
You're securing a workforce.

The Nurse Bridge is an education platform first. For a sponsor, the platform is the mechanism: every dollar into readiness converts a nurse from "someday, maybe" into exam-ready and dossier-complete, months before she is visible to any other employer, agency, or country. A sponsor's commitment buys first, exclusive access to that finished pipeline in their market — not a training program to admire, and never a job guarantee made to the nurse.

01 — The problem

Demand is not the constraint. Readiness is.

Both Canada and the United States are short RNs. The bottleneck isn't finding candidates — the Philippines alone produces tens of thousands of NCLEX-RN sitters a year. The bottleneck is that fewer than half of them clear the exam on the first try, and the health systems around them are visibly straining while they wait.

28,112 Philippine-educated candidates sat the NCLEX-RN in 2024 NCSBN 2024 pass-rate reporting
~52% first-attempt NCLEX-RN pass rate, internationally educated candidates vs. ~85% for US-educated candidates — NCSBN 2024
+126% growth in agency/private-staffing hours covering Canadian hospital shifts, 2019/20 to 2023/24 CIHI 2024 — a direct measure of unfilled core staffing

02 — The model

Train first. Prove exam-ready. Complete the dossier. Then — and only then — matched to your market.

This is an education pipeline with a sponsor gate at the end of it, not a staffing agency with a curriculum bolted on. Nothing about a candidate's progress is for sale until she has already cleared the exam.

01

Recruit & diagnose

Free 25-item diagnostic against the Philippine RN supply — the single largest source of internationally educated NCLEX-RN candidates. No cost, no signup friction, no obligation to a sponsor at this stage.

02

Train to exam-ready

The three-axis readiness engine — knowledge, format, English speed — targets the exact gap that costs internationally educated candidates roughly half of all first attempts.

03

Dossier-complete

Exam passed, licensure paperwork assembled for the destination market — NNAS/OIIQ for Canada, CGFNS/TruMerit/VisaScreen for the USA. A candidate at this stage is ready to move, not just hopeful.

04

Sponsor gets first, exclusive access

Your organization sees this cohort before any other employer, agency, or recruiter does. Access is the product — the nurse never pays a placement fee to receive it, on any sponsored seat.

03 — The quality proof · SCORE-01 (model in development)

A predictive readiness score that de-risks every access decision

Every diagnostic and drill session already produces a three-axis readiness read per candidate. SCORE-01 is the model we are building on top of that data: the correlation between a candidate's platform readiness score and her real exam outcome, cohort by cohort, market by market.

What we already measure

Knowledge, format, and English-speed axes on every candidate, from her first free diagnostic through every drill session that follows.

What we're building — SCORE-01

A longitudinal correlation between platform readiness score and real NCLEX-RN / OIIQ outcome, refined cohort over cohort as more candidates sit the real exam.

Why it de-risks your access

Once validated, a sponsor sees, in aggregate, how close a cohort is to exam-ready before committing the next tranche — the same aggregate-only discipline we already hold with employer sponsors today.

SCORE-01 is a model in development. It is not yet validated against real exam outcomes, and it is not used to make any individual employment, admission, or lending decision today — see the same commitment held for employer sponsors in our ethics charter.

04 — The funnel

Philippines supply → exam-ready on two continents → your market

"Two continents" means a candidate can reach exam-ready and sit the NCLEX-RN whether she is still testing from the Philippines under international scheduling, or already relocated and testing domestically — the platform doesn't care which continent she's on when she clears it. The source side isn't abstract — see the real Philippine nursing university directory the supply pool is drawn from.

05 — Two markets, two sponsor tracks

Canada: faster access. USA: higher-value, EB-3 access.

One trained, dossier-complete pipeline feeds two distinct sponsor markets. Each candidate is routed to one track based on her own eligibility and choice — an investor can back the Canada track, the USA track, or both, off the same underlying supply.

Canada sponsor trackUSA sponsor track
NNAS or OIIQ credential check, then NCLEX-RN (or the OIIQ exam in Québec) CGFNS/TruMerit CES, NCLEX-RN, then VisaScreen — the extra visa-only credential
License-eligible in ≈8–14 months typical; Express Entry PR path with no per-country queue Credentialing in ≈6–12 months, then an EB-3 Schedule A green card — employer-sponsored, no PERM required for RNs
No separate visa-only credential; largest single cost is the Express Entry PR fee Philippines EB-3 queue is currently multi-year and can move backward — the real bottleneck, not credentialing (US Dept of State, July 2026)
Fixed union wage grid — national median ≈$43.27 CAD/hr, Alberta grid highest No fixed scale — national median $93,600 USD/yr, top states (California, Hawaii) above $129,000
Exclusive access means first look before any other Canadian employer or agency sees the cohort Exclusive access means first look before the candidate enters the broader EB-3 sponsor market

Canada trades a slower pay ceiling for a faster, queue-free path. The USA trades a longer, sponsor-dependent gate — especially the Philippines EB-3 backlog — for materially higher pay once a candidate clears it.
