Anyone, who can refer me to an angency or sponsor that can help me to get a working permit.
I am a registered nurse in the philippines, and now, im here to take my nclex this august. but i want to find a sponsor as soon as possible.

You are really in a bad place, especially if you are not taking the NCLEX until August. It iwll take you another few weeks to see if you even passed. Any of the decent hospitals will not do a thing until you have passed NCLEX.
Sorry, but big mistake on coming over here if you have not taken the exam already, or plan to take it as soon as you arrive. What ever yo do, and what ever someone else tells you, DO NOT APPLY for an extension of that tourist visa. They are not being granted, and you will have to leave the US when it is denied. They are only being extended if you have a very good reason, and to stay here to work, is not going to cut it.
