Hi. I am currently an LVN amlost done with the RN program. During my RN school I used up 1 year of my OPT working as an LVN so I have a SSN:

Ques 1: Can I use that SSN to apply for CA RN License?

Ques 2: Does anyone know of any hospital that is willing to sponsor new grads in CA?

Thanks for you guys' time!

You have a little problem to deal with: there are no visas currently available, so even if you find an employer, there is no way that you can work legally. Having a SSN# does not give you permission to work, you need a visa that will permit that.

And yes, the SSN# is valid for the CA RN license.
