Re: RN without SSN or work permit
Immigrations have special rules about foreigners volunteer. A foreigner without proper work authorization cannot volunteer at a position that is usually paid. Doing so violates Labor Law as well as immigration laws.
For example, a foreigner cannot volunteer at an RN position in med-surg unit at a hospital. This type of position is usually a paid position. However, a foreigner can volunteer at a Red Cross team, in which, all other American team members are volunteers.
It all depends on the nature of the position. If the position is usually a volunteer, then foreigner volunteer is OK. If the position is a usually paid working position, then foreigner volunteer is equal to illegal work, even without pay. Any foreigner who wants to volunteer has to be careful about the position to make sure they do not violate the law.
