Good day everyone
Its sometimes really hard for nurses to get the opportunity to really start there career especially when they are internationally trained and do not have as much experience.
I am seeking HELP..I am internationally trained with 2 years experience but not in Med Surg.. I am looking for an Institution who is willing to sponsor me, anywhere in the United States..

Do you have registration sorted in the US? It is hard these days to find a hospital or agency willing to sponsor so all I can suggest is once, if not already done, registration is sorted is to contact hospitals in the areas where you wish to live and work and see if they are sponsoring
yes I have already registered in NYS, thanks for responding I will take your advice and start contacting the hospitals now. would Nursing and rehabilitation facility sponsor as well?

Not common as they often don't have the funds to prove there are no qualified USC/PR nurses for the job. If looking in NYC metro area your chances are slim as there are often hundreds of qualified USC/PR applicants for single job postings so no need to go through the time & expense of sponsorship. More rural and upstate like Syracuse or Albany
