@thapar20
Thank you so much thapar20. I cannot thank you enough for all your suggestions. I also went through a lot of international student nurse forums after realizing about H1b visa condition. Reading through forums I realized that it is going to be very hard for me to find job even during OPT like you said. H1B-visa is going to be different story. The only way to go through this situation would be to apply job everywhere and hope that I would find job at least somewhere. I will also try to find job to do under CPT this semester. And hopefully, if I find job during OPT, I will prepare for masters. Coincident or what, I was also planning to do masters in public health (but not in nursing).
I have few more questions if you don't mind... I read in some international forums that if we do not mention about our visa status during interview or application process, it will be easier to get the job. But then, I wonder if the employer would know anyway and wouldn't it be ethical to start the job with a lie. What do you think and what did you do? Also, I am just curious which state are you in? Where did you complete your degree from? I would like to know probable hospitals or places that would hire me if you can suggest any... Is there any way to contact you personally?
Thank you so much once again.
If anybody know of anybody who graduated with BSN-RN degree and worked during OPT, could you please provide information about how and where did they find the job?
I am sure all these information is going to help several people who are on the same boat like me.
