Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Registered Nurse Jobs at ThedaCare Jobs
Obtain NCLEX licensure before applying
Wisconsin requires an active RN license before ThedaCare can extend an offer or begin visa filing. Pass the NCLEX and apply for Wisconsin licensure early. Delays here stall the entire sponsorship process, including LCA filing with DOL.
Target units with persistent staffing needs
ThedaCare consistently posts openings in critical care, med-surg, and emergency departments. Applying to high-demand units increases your chances of finding a hiring manager willing to move forward with sponsorship rather than waiting for a domestic candidate.
Clarify the EB-3 pathway in your interview
Healthcare employers like ThedaCare frequently sponsor nurses through the EB-3 Green Card pathway via PERM labor certification. Ask directly whether the role qualifies for PERM filing and confirm the employer's typical timeline from offer to petition submission.
Use Migrate Mate to find open sponsoring roles
Not every RN posting at ThedaCare comes with sponsorship. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for Registered Nurse positions at ThedaCare that include visa sponsorship, so you're targeting roles where the process is already supported.
Prepare a credential evaluation before outreach
If your nursing degree is from outside the United States, get a foreign credential evaluation from a NACES-approved body before your interview. ThedaCare's HR team will need this to confirm your education meets the specialty occupation standard required for H-1B filing.
Understand H-1B cap timing for your start date
H-1B cap-subject petitions have an October 1 start date after April lottery registration. If you're offered a role at ThedaCare outside the cap window, ask whether a cap-exempt filing or OPT extension can bridge your employment until your H-1B becomes effective.

Find Registered Nurse at ThedaCare JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does ThedaCare sponsor H-1B visas for Registered Nurses?
Yes, ThedaCare sponsors H-1B visas for Registered Nurses where the role qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring a bachelor's degree or higher in nursing. Because H-1B petitions are subject to the annual cap and lottery, timing matters. Nurses already holding H-1B status with another employer may be able to transfer to ThedaCare without waiting for a new cap cycle.
How do I apply for Registered Nurse jobs at ThedaCare?
Applications go through ThedaCare's careers portal at thedacare.org. Search by role and facility location across their Wisconsin network. If you need visa sponsorship, confirm that requirement early in the process, either in your cover letter or during the initial recruiter screen, so the hiring team can route your application appropriately from the start.
Which visa types does ThedaCare commonly use for Registered Nurses?
ThedaCare supports H-1B visas for temporary work authorization, TN status for Canadian and Mexican nurses meeting USMCA requirements, and F-1 OPT or CPT for nursing graduates still within their academic authorization period. For long-term pathways, ThedaCare has experience with EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship through PERM labor certification, which is common for hospital employers hiring international nurses permanently.
What qualifications does ThedaCare expect for sponsored Registered Nurse roles?
ThedaCare generally requires a current Wisconsin RN license, a bachelor's degree in nursing (BSN) or an associate degree with substantial acute care experience, and BLS certification at minimum. Specialty units such as ICU or the emergency department may require ACLS or other specialty credentials. Foreign-educated nurses should have a credential evaluation completed before the interview process.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take for a ThedaCare RN role?
Timelines vary by visa type. An H-1B transfer from an existing cap-subject petition can take four to six weeks with standard processing. A new H-1B cap filing runs on an annual cycle with an October 1 start date. EB-3 PERM sponsorship, which ThedaCare uses for permanent residency, typically takes one to three years from filing to approval. Browse current RN openings at ThedaCare on Migrate Mate to find roles with active sponsorship support.
