The leading healthcare solutions provider advances employee development and elevates service excellence through its USRN Academy
Omega Healthcare, a leading provider of revenue cycle management (RCM) solutions, is committed to advancing employee growth and clinical excellence across its delivery centers, including the Philippines. One of its flagship initiatives is the USRN Academy, a program designed to help Philippine Registered Nurses (PHRNs) achieve United States Registered Nurse (USRN) certification through comprehensive training and professional guidance.
Expanding career pathways while strengthening service excellence
The USRN Academy was established to address the growing demand for USRNs while supporting the expansion of Omega Healthcare’s clinical services. Beyond meeting workforce requirements, the program provides clear career pathways for PHRNs, enabling them to advance professionally and reach new milestones in their careers.
Through the academy, nurses receive comprehensive training that equips them with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complexities of the U.S. healthcare system. They gain exposure to advanced clinical practices, develop specialized expertise, and access opportunities for upskilling and cross-training in a relatively short period. This enhances their clinical capabilities, opens doors to competitive compensation, and drives long-term career growth.
“The USRN Academy strengthens our workforce by embedding advanced clinical skills that ensure the consistent delivery of high-quality services aligned with client expectations. At the same time, it creates meaningful career opportunities for our employees, empowering them to grow as professionals while delivering world-class healthcare services to our clients,” said Everem Tejada, Deputy General Manager – Service Line, who leads the USRN Academy at Omega Healthcare.
Nurturing talent through structured training
To maintain the quality and integrity of the USRN Academy, Omega Healthcare carefully selects nurses who demonstrate strong professional potential and commitment to advancing their careers. Participants admitted into the program undergo structured training designed to prepare them for USRN certification.
Throughout the journey, Omega Healthcare provides comprehensive support, from training and mentorship to assistance with certification requirements. This approach allows participants to focus fully on enhancing their clinical expertise and building the competencies needed to succeed as USRNs. Upon completion, they are placed in roles that maximize their skills, ensuring both personal growth and meaningful contributions to the organization’s clinical services.
Achieving consistent success
Over the years, the USRN Academy has delivered strong results. From 2022 to the present, the program has maintained an impressive passing rate of 96 to 97 percent, with an increasing number of PHRNs successfully transitioning to USRNs each year.
In 2025, Omega Healthcare aims to transition 200 PHRNs into USRNs, reinforcing its dedication to advancing careers, strengthening clinical capabilities, and investing in Filipino talent.
“Through the USRN Academy, Filipino nurses gain the chance to advance their careers while earning competitive salaries in the Philippines. This program allows them to achieve global qualifications without leaving the country, providing financial stability for their families and contributing to the growth of the local healthcare workforce. It is a meaningful way to invest in Filipino talent and help professionals unlock new opportunities for success,” Tejada added.
