Why Sponsorship Is Provided to Nurses
At Aurik, we believe Nepali nurses like you deserve growth opportunities — not debt. Many Nepali nurses hesitate to begin their U.S. nursing journey because they worry about high costs and hidden fees. That’s why we’re upfront:
When you partner with Aurik:
- ❌ No upfront fees
- ❌ No third-party charges
- ❌ No future salary deductions
- ❌ No repayment or hidden condition
“Some nurses ask if we’ll deduct the cost from their salary after they start working in the U.S. The answer is simple — no, we won’t. You keep everything you earn.”
Cost Breakdown: Foreign Nurse Expenses vs. Aurik
Starting a career as a U.S. RN involves a lot of moving parts — and each one comes with a cost. From exams and licensing to travel and documentation, it can quickly become overwhelming to manage on your own.
But with Aurik, you don’t have to worry about covering these expenses yourself. Your sponsor takes care of all the major costs, so you can focus fully on preparing for your exams and new career ahead.
