ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW
East Bay Agency for Children’s (EBAC) mission is to improve the well-being of children, youth, and families by reducing the impact of trauma and social inequities.

Which companies and employers sponsor visas for school nurses in California?
Large public school districts are the most active sponsors, with Los Angeles Unified School District, San Diego Unified, and San Francisco Unified being among the largest employers of school nurses in the state. University of California and California State University campus health centers also hire school nurses and have sponsored H-1B visas. Some county offices of education and charter management organizations have sponsored qualified candidates as well.
Which visa types are most common for school nurse roles in California?
The H-1B is the most common visa for school nurses in California, as the role typically qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring at least a bachelor's degree in nursing. Public school districts classified as government entities or nonprofits may be cap-exempt, meaning they can file H-1B petitions outside the annual lottery. Nurses from Canada or Mexico may also explore TN visa eligibility under the USMCA. California school nurses must hold a valid California Preliminary or Clear School Nurse Services Credential in addition to an RN license.
Which cities in California have the most school nurse visa sponsorship jobs?
Los Angeles has the highest concentration of school nurse positions given the size of LA Unified, the largest school district in California. San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, and Sacramento also have significant demand, driven by large unified districts and nearby university campuses. The Bay Area's high cost of living contributes to persistent vacancies, which can increase sponsorship willingness among employers seeking to fill hard-to-staff positions.
How to find school nurse visa sponsorship jobs in California?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to find school nurse visa sponsorship jobs in California. The platform filters roles specifically to employers who have sponsored work visas, saving you time compared to reviewing general job postings manually. You can narrow results to California and search for school nurse positions to see active openings from districts and campus health centers with a demonstrated sponsorship history.
Are there state-specific requirements that affect visa sponsorship for school nurses in California?
Yes. California requires school nurses to hold a California School Nurse Services Credential issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing, which is separate from your RN license. Employers sponsoring a school nurse for an H-1B must also file a Labor Condition Application establishing that the offered wage meets the prevailing wage for the role in the specific California metro area, which is determined by Department of Labor data and varies by region.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored school nurse jobs in California?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
