Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Nursing Jobs at University of Florida Jobs
Verify your credentials meet Florida licensing requirements
Florida requires internationally educated nurses to have their credentials evaluated by CGFNS or an equivalent body before the Board of Nursing grants licensure. Start this process early since it can take several months and must be complete before UF can extend a formal offer.
Target UF Health clinical departments directly
UF Health operates multiple hospitals and specialty clinics under the university umbrella. Nursing roles in critical care, oncology, and perioperative settings tend to have the most consistent hiring activity, so filtering your search by department rather than browsing general listings gets you closer to active openings.
Understand how UF handles H-1B cap exemptions
As a public research university, UF qualifies as a cap-exempt H-1B employer, meaning it can file petitions outside the annual lottery window. You can start or transfer H-1B status year-round without waiting for the April registration cycle.
Align your resume to UF's clinical documentation standards
UF Health uses Epic as its electronic health record system. Nurses who list direct Epic experience in their application materials signal faster onboarding readiness, which can matter when hiring managers are choosing between candidates with equivalent clinical backgrounds.
Clarify PERM timing before accepting an offer
If you're targeting a Green Card through EB-2 or EB-3, ask UF's international hiring team upfront whether the role is eligible for PERM sponsorship and what the typical internal timeline looks like. Some positions have tenure requirements before PERM can begin.
Use Migrate Mate to find open UF nursing roles
Sorting through a large university's job board manually is time-consuming. Use Migrate Mate to filter University of Florida nursing positions by visa type so you're only reviewing roles where sponsorship aligns with your current status and target pathway.

Find Nursing at University of Florida JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does University of Florida sponsor H-1B visas for Nurses?
Yes. As a public research university, UF is a cap-exempt H-1B employer, which means it can file H-1B petitions at any point during the year rather than being limited to the annual lottery. Nursing roles that meet the specialty occupation standard, typically requiring at least a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, are eligible for H-1B sponsorship through UF's international hiring process.
How do I apply for Nursing jobs at University of Florida?
Applications go through UF's official careers portal, where nursing positions are listed under UF Health. You'll create a profile, upload your resume, and submit supporting materials for each role. Before applying, confirm your Florida RN licensure is active or in process. For international applicants, it helps to note your visa status in your application so the hiring team can route your file appropriately from the start.
Which visa types does University of Florida commonly use for Nursing roles?
UF sponsors H-1B, E-3, TN, J-1, and F-1 OPT and CPT for nursing roles, depending on your nationality and current status. H-1B is the most common pathway for long-term employment. Australians can pursue the E-3, which bypasses the lottery. Canadian and Mexican nurses may qualify under TN status. Permanent residence through EB-2 or EB-3 is also available for eligible positions.
What qualifications does University of Florida expect for sponsored Nursing positions?
Most sponsored nursing roles at UF require at minimum a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and an active Florida RN license. Specialty units such as ICU, oncology, and the operating room typically expect at least two years of directly relevant clinical experience. International graduates must also have their foreign credentials evaluated and may need to pass NCLEX if they haven't already obtained U.S. licensure.
How long does the visa sponsorship process typically take for a UF Nursing role?
Timeline depends on visa type. H-1B standard processing through USCIS takes three to six months after UF files the petition. Premium processing can reduce USCIS adjudication to around 15 business days, though UF's internal preparation time adds to the overall timeline. PERM-based Green Card sponsorship runs considerably longer, often 18 months or more from initiation. To browse current UF nursing openings filtered by visa type, use Migrate Mate.
