Legal Question in Immigration Law in Mississippi

Hi I just got accepted in Associates in nursing program, and I'm going to sign a contract with a hospital for 2 years. Currently, I have a F-1 visa but I don't know what my status will be after my OPT? because I've heard that RNs can't apply for H1B visa,, so what should I do to get a legal working visa? and how?? Please help!

thank you

When your OPT program will end, you will have to either leave the country or apply for a change to another status. When a work visa is concerned, an American employer has to petition for you (you can't self-apply).

Associate degree doesn't make one eligible for H-1B visa.
