It is my honor to nominate Jocelyn Musni for the TruMerit DAISY Award for Outstanding International Nurse Recruiter. With over 30 years of diverse nursing experience across roles that include NICU, travel nursing, bedside care, and even owning her own home health agency, Jocelyn brings a unique blend of clinical expertise, personal empathy, and unwavering commitment to Alere Care Solutions. As an immigrant herself, Jocelyn has channeled her experiences into a compassionate and ethical recruitment practice that makes a profound difference in the lives of internationally recruited nurses. Jocelyn’s approach to recruitment goes beyond the traditional boundaries. She dedicates one-on-one time with each nurse, drawing from her lived experience to offer personalized support, empathy, and guidance. She understands the nuances of migration and, as someone who has faced these challenges herself, ensures that nurses feel valued, prepared, and supported in their transition to the U.S. healthcare system and culture. This level of individual attention reassures nurses, fostering a sense of belonging and security that can ease the complex process of relocation and integration. In every interaction, Jocelyn exemplifies ethical recruitment practices. Alere Care Solutions prides itself on a model that emphasizes the direct hire of international nurses, ensuring parity in pay and working conditions that match those of their U.S.-educated peers. Jocelyn passionately upholds these principles, offering nurse migrants fair, transparent, and sustainable opportunities that align with their professional qualifications and career aspirations.

Her work not only supports the ethical standards of TruMerit but also sets a high bar for the recruitment industry, prioritizing nurses’ long-term satisfaction and well-being over mere placement. Jocelyn has an extraordinary ability to make each nurse feel seen, heard, and valued. Whether she’s preparing them for the clinical environment, assisting with logistical details, or offering emotional support, Jocelyn is a source of comfort and strength. Her compassion, paired with her in-depth knowledge of healthcare and recruitment, allows her to foster relationships built on trust and mutual respect. Nurses who work with Jocelyn consistently share that her kindness and understanding have helped them feel more confident and capable as they embark on new professional journeys.

Through Jocelyn’s efforts, Alere Care Solutions has become a beacon of ethical recruitment, enabling international nurses to thrive in workplaces that genuinely respect and reward their contributions. Her role in shaping a fair, supportive pathway for these nurses contributes not only to the individual lives she touches but also to the healthcare systems she helps staff with highly qualified, well-integrated nurses. Jocelyn’s work is truly exceptional, advancing the field of international nurse recruitment and exemplifying the spirit of the TruMerit DAISY Award for Outstanding International Nurse Recruiter. In Jocelyn Musni, we see a recruiter who upholds the highest standards of care, empathy, and ethics and who embodies the values of the Alliance Health Care Code for Ethical International Recruitment and Employment Practices. It is with great pride that I recommend her for this well-deserved recognition.
