Cruz v. Towne Nursing Foreign Nurse Recruitment Settlement
What this is about
Six Filipino immigrant nurses allege the companies' nurse recruitment contracts required nurses who resigned before the end of their term without 'Good Reason' to pay amounts plaintiffs say were unreasonable for the alleged breach.
The background
Jemarie Cruz, et al. v. Towne Nursing Staff, Inc., et al., Case No. MON-L-002021-26, pending in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Monmouth County. Six Filipino immigrant nurses allege the companies' international nurse recruitment program required nurses who resigned before the end of their term without Good Reason to pay amounts the plaintiffs say were unreasonable. The companies will pay $1,850,000 to resolve the alleged damages of approximately 450 class members who entered into contracts between August 13, 2014 and May 26, 2026, forgive early-resignation debt incurred on or before December 3, 2025, and collect only agreed Actual Direct Costs going forward. The deadline to submit an Opt-In Form, opt out, or object is September 14, 2026, with a settlement approval hearing on October 7, 2026. Class members who do nothing still receive a payment; filing requires the Notice ID from the mailed notice.
