New undocumented Nursing Grad...Please Help!

[CoolNurses]

I have a friend who had just graduated in may and took the boards in July and now looking for a job...Problem is she is undocumented...does anyone know any agencies that does job sponsorships around NY,NJ,CT and how likely it is for her to get a job.

Your responses and advises will be greatly appreciated

She wont be able to find a job legally if she's here illegally. She needs a social security in order to work in the US and you can't obtain that unless you're a legal resident here in the US. How is an illegal alien able to go to school here? They usually ask for your social security number when you're applying for colleges, not to mention if you're a legal resident. So she/he must have lied on their application in order to go to school.

Plus due to retrogression she's stuck and might as well go home and see if he/she can find a job there. Have that person obtain a copy of their transcripts and take it back to their home country and apply for licensure there. That's if their education is accepted depending on the degree obtained.

I have a question. how was your friend able to complete the nursing program, because in oklahoma where i live you have to get a background check to even apply for the nursing program and that has been a huge barrier for many!
