Are associate degree in Nursing graduates who have passed the RN exam eligible for the 1 yr Optional Practical Training ?

Also if someone were to change from an H4 to F1 when should they ideally do it to get OPT ? Does it have to be at the beginning of the 2 yr course or after the 1st yr or does it not matter ?

Please advice.
 
Yes

Yes, if you graduate with an Associate's degree in Nursing, you can get a one year OPT after you graduate. You will have to stay as a full time student for atleast two semesters on F-1 student visa to be eligible for OPT.
