New Grad Student, need hospital sponsorship to obtain residency

U.S.A. Texas

Published

hello,

i am a new grad student. i will be taking my nclex in the summer. i have a special circumstance.

i came to the u.s. when i was only 5 years old. my family currently has an approved petition to obtain legal residency. throughout college i was an ab540 student, meaning i am undocumented.

now that i am graduating, i am really having a hard time finding a job. i chose nursing because in the past hospitals have granted nurses permanent residency. i was hoping to take this route. however, now i know that hospitals are not that desperate for nurses anymore.

does anyone have any recent information about hospitals sponsoring nurses? what us states would i have most luck in finding this opportunity? i need some advice. should i just go back to grad school until something changes?

I am glad everything worked well for you. I am in the same position you were years ago and would truly appreciate some help and advise. I am about to graduate with my bachelor degree in December 2015 and I am afraid I wont be able to find a job. I cant even find a job right now to help me get the experience I need. I don't know what hospitals hire new grads or sponsors undocumented immigrants. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
