F-1 Student Visa Program

Our U.S. Nursing Student Visa Program seeks international nursing students who are recent or soon-to-be graduates from U.S. nursing programs and are currently in the United States on the F1 Student Visa. We offer full visa sponsorship, guidance through the adjustment of status process, a relocation package, guaranteed job placement, clinical support, and more! 

Interested candidates should currently be studying in a U.S. nursing program or a recent graduate with OPT eligibility and ready to launch their nursing career. Through collaboration with our partner hospitals, we will ensure you start your career in a supportive environment with experience training and onboarding new-grad nurses.
