Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Nursing Jobs at University of Utah Jobs
Target units with recurring international hiring
University of Utah's largest nursing demand tends to cluster in acute care, perioperative, and critical care units. Focusing your applications on high-volume clinical areas increases your odds of reaching a hiring manager who has navigated international sponsorship before.
Browse open Nursing roles on Migrate Mate
University of Utah posts nursing openings across multiple departments at different times of year. Use Migrate Mate to filter for roles that match your specialty and confirm sponsorship eligibility before investing time in an application.
Clarify E-3 eligibility if you hold Australian citizenship
University of Utah sponsors the E-3 visa, which has no lottery and a much faster timeline than H-1B. If you're an Australian citizen with a U.S.-equivalent nursing degree, raise E-3 directly with the HR team during your first sponsorship conversation.
Understand the DOL prevailing wage requirement for nursing
Before your employer files a Labor Condition Application with DOL, the offered wage must meet the prevailing wage for your specific nursing role and location. Review DOL's Foreign Labor Certification wage data to verify your offer falls within the expected range.
Align your credential evaluation with USCIS specialty occupation standards
USCIS requires a credential evaluation confirming your foreign nursing degree is equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's or higher. Commission a NACES-member evaluation early, as the report is required for both H-1B and E-3 petitions and takes several weeks to obtain.

Find Nursing at University of Utah JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does University of Utah sponsor H-1B visas for Nursings?
Yes, University of Utah sponsors H-1B visas for qualifying nursing roles. As a large academic medical institution, it has an established process for international sponsorship. Because H-1B is subject to the annual lottery, timing your offer and application to the March registration window is critical. Your role must meet USCIS's specialty occupation standard, which registered nursing positions tied to a bachelor's-level degree requirement generally satisfy.
How do I apply for Nursing jobs at University of Utah?
Applications go through University of Utah Health's careers portal, where nursing roles are posted by unit, shift, and specialty. Read each posting carefully for minimum licensure and degree requirements before applying, as sponsorship eligibility is tied to the role's educational requirements. Migrate Mate can help you identify which open positions align with your visa type so you can prioritize the right applications from the start.
Which visa types does University of Utah commonly use for Nursing roles?
University of Utah sponsors H-1B, E-3, TN, J-1, F-1 OPT, and F-1 CPT visas, as well as employment-based Green Card pathways including EB-2 and EB-3. For most internationally trained nurses, H-1B or EB-3 are the primary routes. Australian citizens have the additional option of the E-3 visa, which avoids the H-1B lottery entirely and can be processed on a faster timeline.
What qualifications does University of Utah expect for sponsored Nursing positions?
Most sponsored nursing roles require a current, active U.S. RN license valid in Utah, a bachelor's degree in nursing or an equivalent credential evaluated by a NACES-approved agency, and relevant clinical experience in the specialty you're applying for. Advanced practice roles such as nurse practitioner or CRNA positions require a graduate degree and appropriate board certification. Some units also require BLS and ACLS certifications before your start date.
How do I time my application around the H-1B cap if I'm targeting University of Utah?
USCIS opens H-1B registration each March for fiscal year cap-subject petitions, with employment starting October 1 at the earliest. If you're on F-1 OPT when you receive an offer, the cap-gap provision can bridge your authorized work period through September 30 if your OPT expires during that window. Confirming your offer and completing the USCIS registration by the March deadline is the single most time-sensitive step in the process.
