As an F1 holder, I am not able to enroll in a fully online program here in the States. I tried to enroll at University of Illinois Chicago for the RN-BSN program but was denied because it was fully online with clinicals. There's just no way of having an F1 STATUS and going for an online degree. The adviser told me "If your going to do it online, then why should you be here in the States, you can go back to your country and get your degree?" Doing my FNP in class... hoping to get my EB2 after grad.
