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 ...

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.

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...

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 everyone. I'm a nursing student who'll be graduating pretty soon (less than a month) and I have to write a paper on a nurse entrepreneur by Friday - eek! I'd completely forgotten about the paper and now I'm kinda desperate. If anyone knows or if...

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...

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.

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?

Thanks everyone. I'll get on that.

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!

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...

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...

1. how many questions did you take on nclex? 75 2. what study materials did you use? did you take a test review course? i didn't use a course. i had a lot of review materials but i ended up using saunders comprehensive review and cd exclusively. ...

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 ...

Ding ding! Gotcha. Now that I've heard of - it's the stuff in synovial fluid right? I think I've actually heard about this procedure before in one of the morning talk shows. There, I don't feel like such a rube anymore. Thanks!

Thanks Siri! I just sent you a PM.

I've just sent them emails. Thank you very much for the suggestion. I wish you all the best in your business - I didn't know that nurses could give Botox treatments and at the risk of revealing my complete lack of sophistication, I have to ask: Wh...

I posted this over at the entrepreneur forum but it probably fits better here...

Yeah, Suzanne you're right. [big sigh] It's just that my international student advisor has told me that I'll have 60 days to get my act together and leave once I graduate. I'm not even sure that that's going to be enough time to get the approval, fi...

Thanks embarg. The I-140 is the initial approval right? I guess that's something. This is all so depressing.

Suzanne, I was born in Nigeria. Can you tell me what other options are available to me if I don't have OPT? Should I get a lawyer now and start planning my options or should I wait a little longer? It's not like I can do anything right now since I...

"...Additionally, individuals in the United States will not be eligible to file the Adjustment of Status Application (Form I-485) unless they previously filed an I-140 petition on October 1, 2005 or earlier..." This is what I'm really concerned about...
