Which companies sponsor visas for nurses in Florida?
Large health systems with established immigration programs are the most consistent sponsors. AdventHealth, HCA Florida Healthcare, Baptist Health South Florida, Tampa General Hospital, and UF Health have all filed for nursing sponsorship through H-1B or employment-based green card processes. Staffing agencies that place nurses in Florida facilities also sponsor, though the sponsoring employer is typically the end facility.
Which visa types are most common for nursing roles in Florida?
The EB-3 employment-based green card is the most common pathway for foreign-educated registered nurses in Florida, often combined with a temporary VisaScreen certification step. The H-1B is also used for advanced practice registered nurses, including nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists, whose roles typically meet specialty occupation requirements. Standard bedside RN roles more commonly route through EB-3.
Which cities in Florida have the most nursing sponsorship jobs?
Miami and the broader South Florida region generate the highest volume of nursing sponsorship activity, driven by large hospital networks and a high patient-to-nurse ratio. Orlando is a close second, anchored by AdventHealth's corporate headquarters and Florida Hospital's network. Tampa, Jacksonville, and Gainesville also post consistent openings, particularly through academic medical centers and regional health systems.
How to find nursing visa sponsorship jobs in Florida?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically for visa sponsorship, so you can browse Florida nursing roles without sorting through postings that don't support international candidates. Search by nursing specialty, filter to Florida, and review employer sponsorship history directly on the platform. This saves significant time compared to contacting hospitals individually to ask about their immigration policies.
Are there any Florida-specific considerations for nurses seeking visa sponsorship?
Florida requires foreign-educated nurses to obtain a VisaScreen certificate from the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools before a visa can be issued, which involves credential evaluation and English proficiency testing. Florida also has high patient volume relative to its nurse workforce, which historically sustains employer willingness to sponsor. NCLEX passage and state licensure through the Florida Board of Nursing are required before employment can begin.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored nursing jobs in Florida?
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.
