Australia versus New Zealand

there's a program in University of Health Science of Oregon, it's a online course so I can stay in California and still do it online. Linfield also has one online and they are all roughly 420dollar per credit.

Here is my question though Promin1... why should I get a BSN here in U.S. if I can get it in Canada or New Zealand?

My BSN is only good here in the states... If I take that BSN to another country, it is still useless because I have no experience as a nurse... On the other hand if I can manage to transfer to a school in Canada and get a BSN... I can probably get sponsored for a work visa since they are in dire need of nurses...

so why should I stay and get a BSN here in U.S.?

nope, my status here in the U.S. does not affect my chance of immigrating else where, already confirmed with lawyers, etc. Deportation will affect me but not if I leave voluntarily.

there is no "returning..." Even after 10 year ban they won't let me back in, it's not likely. My best chance is to wait and see if this law is going to pass next year. Leaving right now before the law even comes up to be voted would be foolish. There's a 50/50 chance that comprehensive immigration may pass. On top of that, I can technically get sponsored, my application for legal status is pending, so I am not 100 percent illegal, I am in a legal limbo where I am stuck as a pending visa status... It's not as easy as just leaving, that may be YOUR opinion but that is definitely not the best option for my future. I would appreciate it if you reserve your own judgment and opinion... I am simply asking for some information and facts about the possibility of immigrating to another country.

police report would be from Korea...

overstaying visa is not a crime but a civil disobedience, not in the criminal record unless I get deported.

I have cleared it with a lawyer, my overstayed visa presence here does not affect immigrating to another country since I am applying from Korea not U.S. I would have to go back to Korea first then apply to another country, my status in U.S. has nothing to do with it. This is a fact...

it's a different country... overstaying a visa isn't an issue to another country... especially in my case when I GREW UP HERE. Don't you get it? I grew up here since I was sixth grade? I could be your classmate, your next door neighbor, your childhood friend and you would never even know it! Shoot, most of us didn't even know we were "illegal" till our parents told us when we turned 18. It's not even our fault... have some mercy people. By a stroke of luck you could be in my shoes, just because of the parents that you have. I have a flipping 3.9 gpa in my college and worked my butt off and I work and PAY TAXES. I worked harder than any of my friends just to be where I am today, wiping tables at restaurants and studying all day and night for nursing school. You could have been in my shoes... if you just happened to be born to a wrong parents... would you have gone back and left the country that you grew up in and called "home?" Gone back to what? Country you haven't been in for a decade since you were a child and have no future in? Haha... go back... easy for you to say...
