Yes, it's much easier to get hired in rural/underserved areas. First step is to find a hospital willing to sponsor. Then the hospital will have to provide evidence showing that they placed an ad for a certain amount of time, but was not able to get any qualified applicants. Hence the decision to sponsor you. Third step is getting approved for visa.
As masters-level nurse will be able to get visa within a few months; an RN will have to wait a few years.
The hospital will have to be willing to wait for you to get approved, considering that you don't get a working permit while you wait, and thus aren't able to legally work.
