Can't get a sponsor

[pink-coated apple]

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!

Great for you, but I personally went to few HCA Hospitals in Houston, Texas and recruiters told me that HCA do not hire foreign educated nurses even if they are licensed in USA now. Apparently, they do it in California.

yes, i am now in surgical floor. it is an HCA facility 415 beds capacity. i walked in, submitted application and was interviewed same day. i was lucky they took me in. the hospital filed immigrant petition for me. it was approved last May. this is in southern california.
