Is it realistic...?

Hello everyone! I am about to start a nursing school (ABSN), and I am currently an international student in the US. As far as I know, after graduating and passing NCLEX exam one is given 1 year of OPT. Apparently, BSN is not going to give any chance of finding an employer willing to sponsor H1B. Thus, once this OPT year ends I must enroll in a MSN program to maintain F1 status, and then hope for another year of OPT (right?) and MAYBE if I am really lucky landing a job with an employer who could file fir H1B... How realistic is this plan? Am I missing something? What are the chances of being accepted to a MSN program (ANP?) with literally a couple of months experience? I will endlessly appreciate any comments/advice...

    Why look for H1b when most employer can go for immigration and if trained in the US then you can do it with ASBN. The issue with immigrant visa is place of birth and where in the US you want to live and work and whether employers are going to be willing to go the immigrant route

    Thank you very much! Honestly, I am just starting to research and did not realize this option exists! I assume in terms of "where in the US" one should look at states with current/projected shortages... I really love New England and MA in particular, but it looks like there is a surplus of nurses there.... Alas... Thank you so much again!
