Visa sponsorship record
From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026, the US Labor Department certified 4 H-1B applications from Orlando Health for registered nurses, offering a median $37.27 an hour (the low end of each application's wage range). That is the employer's record, not a promise for this job: ask its recruiter whether this one sponsors a visa. Green cards for registered nurses are on the Labor Department's Schedule A and are filed with USCIS directly, so this record holds almost none of any employer's.
