Can't get a sponsor

I'm an RN from the Philippines with Texas RN license. I've all the required documents including Visa Screen Certificate. My problem is that I can't find a hospital/agency that's willing to sponsor me because I don't have hospital experience. I graduated in 2003 and I worked for half a year for a colon hydrotherapy center but that was it. I'm here on a tourist visa, which will expire in Sept. Does anybody have any word of advice? Thanks in advance, y'all!

Do you need to stay in Texas?

I'm willing to relocate if needed, but my very first option would be to stay here in San Antonio, TX.

That must be so difficult for you. I am nervous enough with 16yrs experience, but then I think hey a sick patient in the UK and a sick patient in the US- what is the difference

That's great news! How did you go about? Are you working in a hospital? Any tips on where to go/who to contact/what to do? Thanks!
