What type of experience do you already have? You are going to have difficulties with finding placement directly in the NICU without much experience in the area already.

Can you please be more specific?

I would concentrate more on contacting hospitals directly, as you will see almost no NICU jobs with the agencies for foreign-trained nurses.

Which part of Ohio are you interested in? And what type of NICU experience? Not sure if you have the different levels in your country as we do.......open heart and neuro experience? ECMO? Types of ventilators that you have used? Are you able to insert umbilical catheters, just to give me an idea of the skills that you already have.

I would not even begin to look for a recruiter or facility until after you have passed NCLEX. There is nothing that can be done before then.............no one will offer a position until they can see exam results. Plus they cannot submit any petition for you until they can also submit the results to immigration.

Agencies that she is referring to are different from what you are aware of in most cases. She is looking for sponsorship of a green card, not per diem agency work.
