Can somebody help me?

Hello there! I am a nurse here in the Philippines. I just want to ask if foreign OR nurse are in demand in the US? I am currently assigned in a medical-surgical ward and would really want to be transferred in the OR if there are great job opportunities for OR nurses in the US because I noticed that most foreign employers want to hire nurses on special areas such as ICU and ER. I wonder if OR is also included..

Thanks for reading my thread! I hope someone can help me with this.

All depends on where you want to work. Experience in any area will count but remember with retrogression and looking at several years waiting any experience is better than none.

El janitor might have some answers. Where i work in san diego there are plenty of Pilipino nurses, i cant walk down the hallway without catching some Tagalog.

Also this is a magnet hospital but we are rather small. Like 12 bed icu, 20 bed less er, no trauma center, no wound care. But don’t let the smallness fool you. You would most likely love working here. But I don’t know if they are hiring in the O.R. Here’s a website you can take a gander at.
