Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Registered Nurse Med Surg
Verify your NCLEX and state license first
TN eligibility for RNs requires a valid U.S. state nursing license, not just your Canadian or Mexican credential. Apply for licensure by endorsement in your target state before contacting employers, so you can confirm readiness immediately.
Target hospitals with recent visa sponsorship experience
Med Surg units at large hospital systems and regional medical centers often sponsor work visas for nursing roles. Look for employers with recent visa filings to identify facilities experienced with sponsorship processes. For TN status, Canadian applicants can present an employer support letter directly at the U.S. border, while Mexican applicants apply through a U.S. consulate. Employers experienced with visa sponsorship generally understand the documentation needed to support international healthcare professionals and are more likely equipped to prepare the required support materials.
Distinguish TN from H-1B when talking to recruiters
Many hospital recruiters assume visa sponsorship means H-1B lottery risk. Clarify that TN has no cap or lottery for Canadians, and the employer's main obligation is preparing a support letter, which the applicant presents directly at the U.S. port of entry—a streamlined process that typically takes just days to finalize.
Prepare your credential package before the offer stage
CBP officers reviewing your TN application at the port of entry expect your nursing degree, NCLEX results, state license, and a detailed employer support letter. Gaps in this package cause delays or denials, so assemble it before you receive a job offer.
Search TN-ready Med Surg roles through Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to find Registered Nurse Med Surg positions where employers have confirmed TN visa sponsorship willingness, filtering out roles where you'd need to educate the hiring team about USMCA eligibility from scratch.
Negotiate TN renewal timing into your offer letter
TN status is granted in three-year increments with no limit on renewals. Ask your employer to commit in writing to filing renewal documentation at least 90 days before your current TN expiration, protecting continuity of your work authorization.

Find Registered Nurse Med Surg JobsRegistered Nurse Med Surg TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Registered Nurse Med Surg qualify for the TN visa?
Yes. Registered Nurses are explicitly listed as a qualifying occupation under the USMCA TN visa category. To qualify, you must hold a valid nursing license in the U.S. state where you'll work, have a baccalaureate or licenciatura degree in nursing, and have a job offer from a U.S. employer in a nursing role.
How does TN visa sponsorship for RNs compare to H-1B?
TN is significantly more straightforward for Canadian RNs. There's no annual lottery, no cap, and no USCIS petition waiting period. Canadian nurses can obtain TN status directly at a port of entry the same day. H-1B requires filing months in advance, entering a randomized lottery, and waiting for USCIS adjudication, which can take the better part of a year.
What documents does my employer need to provide for my TN application?
Your employer must provide a detailed support letter on company letterhead stating your job title, a description of your duties confirming the role is a specialty nursing position, your anticipated length of employment, and your offered compensation. You'll present this support letter at the U.S. port of entry (if Canadian) or at a U.S. consulate (if Mexican) as part of your TN visa application.
Where can I find Med Surg RN jobs that already offer TN visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. It surfaces Registered Nurse Med Surg positions where employers have confirmed TN sponsorship willingness, so you're not spending time on roles where the hiring team is unfamiliar with USMCA requirements. Filtering by TN eligibility upfront saves significant time in the job search.
Can Mexican RNs get TN visa sponsorship for Med Surg nursing roles?
Yes, Mexican citizens are eligible for TN visas as Registered Nurses under USMCA. The key difference is that Mexican nationals must apply at a U.S. consulate rather than at the port of entry, and Mexico has a 5,500 annual TN allocation. In practice, demand has not exhausted this cap, so qualifying Mexican RNs can still access TN status.
