   Thanks for the tip Maseca, and for the offer to help. I'll save your info and if you're still interested about a month from now, I'll email you the survey to test out.

2. Looking for post-op bariatric surgery patients for dissertation study.

   nikita101 replied to nikita101's topic in Post Graduate

   My survey is not ready yet but is going to be about 50 questions on eating behaviors, surgical expectations and body image. It should take about 15-20 minutes to complete. I'm not allowed to enroll anyone into the study until I defend my study propos...

3. Looking for post-op bariatric surgery patients for dissertation study.

   nikita101 replied to nikita101's topic in Post Graduate

   Thanks for the response. I have done some googling and have come up with a couple of sites that I think like. There's also a couple of clinics that I'm talking to but they are small (they perform around 70 surgeries/year), their programs are new, an...

   Hi all, I posted this in the nurse researcher forum but it may be better here... I'm a DNP student and I need some help finding post-bariatric surgery patients for my dissertation study. I would love to get patients who are at least 1 or 2+ years ...

5. Ideas for possible H1B position

   nikita101 replied to nikita101's topic in International

   Suzanne, I was asking for ideas for other hospital positions other than perhaps bedside nursing that require a bachelor's degree which I could pursue based on my other qualifications (eg: I have a background in research and teaching). However, I did...

   Suzanne, Yes, I already have the visa screen certificate.

7. Ideas for possible H1B position

   nikita101 replied to nikita101's topic in International

   My understanding was that there was no cap on H1B visas for academic institutions. The hospital that I work for falls under this umbrella. This being the case, I believe that H1B can be filed at anytime - no?

8. Ideas for possible H1B position

   nikita101 posted a topic in International

   Hi everyone, I'm on a student visa working as an RN on MedSurg with OPT which expires in April. I have a BSN and a BS and MS in chemistry all of which I earned in this country. Since most RN positions don't qualify for the H1B visa, I'd like to tr...

10. Family emergency and traveling on OPT

    nikita101 posted a topic in International

    My father died last week. The funeral has been set for June 14th. I figure that I have a month and a half to get myself together and figure out how I'll not only go home for the funeral but (and here's the kicker) be able to come back, complete my ...

    Thanks everyone. You all have very good suggestions. I'll try them all and see what works. Wish me luck!

12. Why can't I find a job?

    nikita101 replied to nikita101's topic in International

    Thanks for the responses. I knew about retrogression but I figured I would have OPT for one year and would (hopefully) be able to ride it out. I didn't think I would have such a hard time finding a hospital to employ me with OPT. Maybe I haven't c...

13. Why can't I find a job?

    nikita101 posted a topic in International

    I'm a foreign student in the US and have just graduated. I got my OPT card 2 weeks ago and I passed the boards last week. But I've been having a really hard time finding a job. It's not even as if I want a high-demand specialty like ICU or L&D...

15. Interview with a nurse entrepreneur for school paper

    nikita101 replied to nikita101's topic in Entrepreneurs

    I got 100 on the paper thanks to Siri. And no, I'm not posting it. I'm not usually shy about my work but this paper really did not deserve that grade. The paper was mostly Siri's interview with a couple of paragraphs before and after and a journal ...
