Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Nursing Jobs at Saint Francis Health System Jobs
Get your credentials evaluated before applying
International nursing credentials must be evaluated by a CGFNS-approved organization and your RN license endorsed by the Oklahoma Board of Nursing before Saint Francis can move forward with sponsorship. Starting this process early prevents offer delays.
Target units with persistent staffing shortages
Saint Francis consistently posts openings in ICU, med-surg, and telemetry. These high-turnover units are where hospital systems are most willing to invest in sponsorship. Applying to these roles gives you the strongest case for an employer-sponsored petition.
Ask HR about PERM timing during the offer stage
For EB-2 or EB-3 Green Card sponsorship, Saint Francis must complete DOL's PERM labor certification before filing an immigrant petition. Ask early whether the facility initiates PERM concurrently with your nonimmigrant visa so you're not waiting years to start the process.
Use Migrate Mate to find open nursing roles at Saint Francis
Nursing openings at large hospital systems fill quickly and aren't always easy to track across job boards. Use Migrate Mate to browse Saint Francis roles filtered by visa sponsorship type so you're applying to positions where sponsorship is already confirmed.
Prepare your NCLEX and licensure documents for USCIS review
Nursing qualifies as a specialty occupation under H-1B only when supported by a valid RN license and NCLEX passage. USCIS scrutinizes nursing petitions closely, so have your license certificate, NCLEX score, and degree transcripts organized before your employer files Form I-129.

Find Nursing at Saint Francis Health System JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Saint Francis Health System sponsor H-1B visas for Nursings?
Yes, Saint Francis Health System sponsors H-1B visas for qualifying nursing roles. To be eligible, you'll need a valid RN license in Oklahoma and NCLEX passage, as USCIS requires nursing petitions to demonstrate specialty occupation status. Because H-1B has an annual cap and lottery, your employer typically files in April for an October 1 start date, so timing your job search and credentialing accordingly is important.
How do I apply for Nursing jobs at Saint Francis Health System?
You can find and apply for nursing positions at Saint Francis through their careers portal or by using Migrate Mate to filter roles by visa sponsorship type. When applying, clearly indicate your visa status and sponsorship needs in your application. Reaching out to a nurse recruiter directly after submitting your application can help you get a faster response on sponsorship eligibility.
Which visa types does Saint Francis Health System commonly use for Nursing roles?
Saint Francis sponsors several visa categories for nurses, including H-1B, E-3 (for Australian citizens), TN (for Canadian and Mexican nationals), and F-1 OPT for recent nursing graduates. For longer-term immigration, they also support EB-2 and EB-3 employment-based Green Card pathways. The right visa depends on your nationality, degree, and career stage, so confirm the best fit with their HR team early in the process.
What qualifications does Saint Francis Health System expect from international nursing candidates?
Saint Francis expects candidates to hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing or an Associate Degree in Nursing, a passed NCLEX-RN exam, and an active Oklahoma RN license or eligibility to obtain one. For specialty units like ICU or telemetry, relevant clinical experience in that setting strengthens your application. International graduates should also have their foreign credentials evaluated by a CGFNS-approved agency before applying.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take for a nursing role at Saint Francis Health System?
Timeline depends on your visa type. H-1B sponsorship follows the annual April lottery cycle, meaning an October 1 start date at the earliest. EB-3 Green Card sponsorship through PERM can take two or more years depending on your country of birth and USCIS processing. E-3 and TN visas move faster, often within a few weeks of receiving a job offer, since they don't require a USCIS petition before consular processing.
