Thank yo for the response. I already have a SSN, but that doesn't permit work authorization. I was just wondering will it be possible to get sponsorship after BSN given I already have a MPH degree and over a year worth public health experience. As, with NCLEX I plan to pay the examination fee before graduating and taking the exam ASAP after graduating.
Hello all, I am an international student planning to pursue an accelerated BSN program. I have a graduate Public Health Degree (MPH Epidemiology) from United States. I would like to know what are my chances of finding an employer willing to sponsor me (H1B) right after I graduate from BSN program. Please keep in mind that I will absolutely need sponsorship within 1 month of graduating from the BSN program or otherwise I will have to go back to school again to maintain my legal status which I won't be able to afford at any cost. Are my chances of sponsorship better since I already have a MPH degree? I am not worried about getting into and graduating from the BSN program so please limit your responses to the sponsorship issue only. FYI, I plan to look for a sponsor at least 6 moths prior to graduating from BSN program if I think it worth to take a gamble (applying for BSN given sponsorship issue). Thanks in advance for your suggestions .
