Hi all, new to this forum and this is my first time posting so really appreciated if anyone could help with my question.
I have a friend who is graduating from Columbia this spring with a BSN degree. She is from China and has been in the US since high school. As she is graduating, she is considering either getting a job or going for master's degree, so she was wondering how is the job market for BSN international students who do not have citizenship or permanent residency in the US? All I know is that she has to go through the H-1B process, which is long. But is it very hard to find a sponsor, an employer who would like to wait and apply that for you if you are like a pretty good candidate for a position? I myself is not in the field but I am also kinda interested in this since a lot of the times we see a shortage of nurses here but when it comes to hiring international nurses, there seem to be no exceptions? Does graduating from a prestigious school make any, even the slightest, difference at all?
Again, really appreciated if anyone in the field knows the process and details. Thanks!!
