Hi Can somebody give me some ideas about the hospitals or any institution that will sponsor me for a working visa here in NJ. I just passed my NCLEX last May 3rd and currently I am a holder of a working visa for a health educator; I learned that in order to practice nursing I need to get somebody who will file for a petition for me to work as a nurse. Thanks! Really apprciate if somebody will help me. 0 Likes

That is the only was to get H1b in nursing.Health educator is a good job. With retrogression you will be waiting many years to get a green card. Hospitals are not sponsoring due to the long wait and availibilty of us nurses. 0 Likes
