French Nurse Seeking Sponsorship in CA

romsy · Dec 8, 2004

Hi Everyone!
I'm a French nurse with a CA RN license, specialized in Med/Surg & Oncology.
I'm looking for an hospital who could sponsor me.
Does anyone know which hospitals I should contact first? and who should I talk to? HR or Nurse Manager?
Everything is so different, I really need your help.
I'm currently staying in South Calif and would like to stay between San Diego & San Luis Opisbo as my family lives in LA.
Thank you for all your messages! I'm ready to give up on one of my dream!
Happy Holidays to all of you.

Go to www.shusterman.com and click "nurses". This is a law firm that facilitates sponsorship of RNs by certain hospitals. They have Beverly, Brotman and California Pacific on this page. Maybe you can contact these hospitals(all in LA) directly if you want to. If you want it easier, you can contact the law firm itself and they will take care of the process of contacting who. Good Samaritan (also in LA) also sponsors RNs( www.goodsam.org). Some of the Tenet facilities also do some sponsorship. Its is usual to Contact HR first. Good luck.

Have you tried Torrance Memorial Hospital?? Phone # is (310) 325-9110 or you can go to the web site. Torrance Memorial Hospital is located in Torrance CA. They do have openings in Med/Surg and Onc. Good luck!!

Torrance Memorial Medical Center :rolleyes:

Stay away from Good Sam in L.A. That's the hospital with the spy cameras in the nurses' lounges. Also, you might want to take a look at my posting about MLK hospital-"LA TIMES" series which I posted on the general discussion board. Torrance Memorial is a good hospital.
