What are my options now?

Okay guys. here is my situation: I just graduated from a LPN program yesterday and am waiting to take my boards now. I'm in a position where things are looking kind of hopeless and am looking for some people that have gone through same type of experience that I'm going through at the moment. I'm an originally from S. Korea and yes, I still am a legal citizen of S. Korea and am here in the US as an international student. Can anyone give me any ideas about what my next plan should be after I pass the boards? How likely is it for me to stay here in the US and work as a LPN while I work my way up to become a RN and maybe more later in the future? I would love to hear wise opinions from any one of you out there who walked the same path that I'm on as of now.
