You should speak with various attorneys here in Florida that should be able to assist her.
Re: RN contract - Miami
You do not mention were your sister lives or where the suit was filed, but generally there are usually multiple defenses in a breach of contract claim.
The California Bar Association has made available a helpful guide to hiring a lawyer. You may view it here:

I would be willing to discuss some of the issues concerning your case to see how I may be of assistance.
I offer prospective clients an initial consultation of 30 minutes for free.
I look forward to speaking with you.
Yours truly,

Re: RN contract - Miami
First, have they sued her in Florida or in California court? You'll need a lawyer from the state the court is located in to defend her. You haven't provided many facts, but you probably should look for an attorney with litigation experience and possibly labor experience.
