So I got a job offer at medsurg floor as a new grad on OPT, but they will only hire me if I agree to get my MSN in nurse leadership later on (purely to get the employment authorization). I would have to pay 18k in total for the degree which is not that much but I am just curious if I will even be able to do anything with the degree? Any pay increase? Can I teach as an adjunct? I wish I could go for something useful but that's my only option, so I am thinking if I can use it at all. Your thoughts? Thank you all in advance

UPD: doing a Master‘s degree is the only way for me to stay in the US and work as a nurse since I am a foreign student, and getting the work authorization takes forever. It‘s mostly through HCA hospitals.

A couple of months ago, I started applying for new grad RN positions. I got my BSN in the US, so I can work for up to one year on my Optional Practical Training (OPT). However, all of the jobs have been rejecting my applications either before or after an interview. I was wondering if it could have anything to do with my limited employment authorization. I am also wondering whether it is even possible to get hired as a foreign new grad, since the job market is tough even for citizens. Should I look in other cities/states? Just keep applying everywhere? Any advice would be highly appreciated

I just finished my capstone in the float pool, and I found it quite easy to adapt to new units each time, so I figured I could apply for a float pool job. An HR rep told me they now hire new grads due to the residency program, but I am still hesitant about whether it is a good idea and whether it would be too overwhelming, since I was super drained for days after each capstone clinical although I loved it. Thanks in advance for any advice/thoughts
