Studying nursing as a foreigner

I’m from the US and plan on going to Korea and becoming a nurse. I don’t speak any Korean right now, so I would have to do language school until I’m fluent enough to apply for nursing programs. I was wondering how long it would realistically take for me to get to a high enough Korean level and if nursing schools accept foreigners.

For reference, both of my parents are Korean American and said if I go to Korea they will move with me, and my parents can’t afford to pay for my school, so I am paying for it all. Even with aid and scholarships it still costs me around 20k a year. I don’t think I would want to work in Korea as a nurse because I know they make less money and also are treated worse so after school I would most likely move back. Any advice is appreciated!
