Questions about sponsorship

[ca nurses]

Hi, I'm currently living in east bay,ca. My sister in the philippines is a registered nurse, working in a hospital there,and just passed her cgfns. I'm trying to help her by finding a way for her to work here. But, I've been surfing the net for weeks now, and I can't find anything. I hope someone can give me some answers to my questions. 1st, do you know any hospital in the east bay area that offer sponsorship programs?and 2nd, is there any other way she can work here as a nurse if ever I didn't find any sponsorship for her? Maybe, someone there can give me a name of an agency or something.... Thank you so much.

Please post in the International Nursing section as well as use "Search". There are a large number of threads in that Forum as well as some "Sticky" threads at the beginning of the Forum that can give you some of the information that you seek. In addition, Suzanne the Moderator can help, though it is my understanding that she is away at this time.

It does take a lot of work and time to come over and work as a nurse here. I believe, usually several years. Good Luck.
