For those going for CNA or nursing jobs,please make sure you seek more info about it before you apply for it.Adexkem(nairaland) is a living witness,many CNA holders in some states find it difficult to get job.They give preference to Americans first before GC people.Its a very good high paying job for beginners but findout from your host if the job sells in your state or city before jumping into it.All the best

xmelly4lov: Hello fellas.
I Was among those that went for the interview in 10th december 2012, and by Gods grace I was told my visa will be given to me but I shold firts send photocopies of my credentials to gss. Nd gss told me to come bck in 10 working days for my visa. But till now my visa is still not ready anytime I go dere to ask @ gss. Please, house what do I do? I Will appreciate your noble advice. Thanks

try visit GSS again and if they say its not ready,you can go back to the embassy to ask why? this issue happens

junkerhill: Mr moderator, it is unquestionable and crystal clear that u ar a man of integrity and that u hav the interest of this country and forumites at heart and I thank you for that. If u can still have a rethink on the issue it will also be fine. I believe u will still be helping people as well, either save them from spendin extra money or save their tym and also prevent them from making some unnecessary mistakes. I plead to ur conscience to rethink about it or u can as well call for the house to vote it out. Which that has the highest vote proceeds. That's my opinion sha.

I dont think this should be an issue,nairaland has it own internal mail,once you want to have private conversation with any one just add the person as some to FOLLOW,you then be contacting eash other via your private emails.I have met lots of people tru that means.

junkerhill: Good morning all. I am still of the opinion that contacts and addresses be shared on this thread cos it really helps. If temmy didn't giv idoo4love his email address and phone, how would he had coped. He myt have gone to another length that would either cost him much or make a mistake he would regret. He helped him wit sample of the letter he sent to kcc and other stuff. I think intent of this thread is to help ourselves and I still believe sharing contacts is still one of the ways to do that.

Congrats bro,pls come fast and lets rock this US of A for cash oooo.hehehehehehe

[quote author=adesojiaderemi@]TIPS for getting a job(culled from Career Builder)
Don't let bad news get you down
"Don't listen to the doom and gloom that you hear in the news. People are getting jobs every day, and companies are growing, even in a down economy. I say this as a business owner, whose biggest challenge over the past year has been finding quality help. I have also seen it with other local business owners who are looking to hire. I believe that people get an idea that there are no jobs because of all the negativity they hear about the job numbers in the media, so they buy into that and give up, while others go for it and find great jobs, regardless of the economic indicators." -- Anthony Kirlew, founder and CEO of AKA Internet Marketing

Find what makes you passionate
"If you don't focus your job search on something you are passionate about, you won't stand out enough. Your networking, your résumé and your interviews all have to show a spark to get attention, especially in a tight economy. The good news is it's a great time to tap into what you love and then match that to the job market. It's possible and essential." -- Val Nelson, career and business coach

Show how you add value
"Figure out what value you can provide. Your credentials and your past are nice but secondary. I am glad you think you are great, but it's of little consequence to me. Convince me that my future is better with you than without you. Value, value, value -- that's where it is at. Once you know the value you provide, make it clear in your résumé, cover letter and interview." -- Ann Latham, president of consulting and business-services company Uncommon Clarity

Network, network, network
"Network with all kinds of people for useful market information, not just information about specific job openings or companies that are known to be hiring. Learn about the larger world and environment." -- Tammy Gooler Loeb, career and executive coach at Tammy Gooler Loeb Coaching & Consulting

Stay positive
"Positivity and persistence are key. Stay optimistic throughout the process and keep going until you achieve your goal." -- Lynda Zugec, managing director of The Workforce Consultants

Stand out from the crowd
"Every candidate is punctual, responsible and gets on well with people. To avoid blending in with the crowd, highlight unique elements of your personal brand. For example, a candidate listed an around-the-world trip she took in college as an educational experience. When we read that, we had to hear the story, so she got an interview and eventually a job. Don't skip or gloss over the cover letter. This is your opportunity to make a personal impression and connection. A résumé is just a list of facts about you, but the cover letter gives a hiring agent insight into your personality. We hire people, not résumés[/quote]tanx bro

[quote author=Remmy488][/quote]i gbadun your moves,during my own time i was just smiling whenever she ask me quuestions

Godhelpmeooo: @ temmytanny thank u so mch 4 d info,pls i wil lv to knw why u said so,did u comfirm dis frm smwhere.al d same,she was created by ALMIGHTY GOD.al of us in dis forum wil collect our american visa IJN(amen)GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!

No,i just noticed they rotate COs btw non immigrant and immigrant sections.The black lady used to be at the non immigrant section during my own interview and when i went back to drop my passport for visa.I also noticed no one has discussed about the white lady for months until now.The hite lady seems to be strict,so watch out!Most winners have been talking about the black lady

adzovia: cause i was told to wait for a maximum of 3 weeks if it does not come then i can get to the nearest office.

was told same too

adzovia: did you go to the homeland security office for your ssn or it was posted to you

You will go to SSA office in your locality to apply for it.Though,some SSA office will tell you to wait till after 21days and that homeland security will send it bt i havent seen anyone received it tru such means.In texas,you must wait after 21days after your arrival but its different in some states.

@all,

Please,prepare very well for your interview.I have a feeling the slim white lady has taken charge of dv lottery winners interview.Am not trying to scare you but prepared well,be bold and always look into her eye when answering question for her or anyone that may interview you.All the best

Remmy488: My God has done it for me....................... the whit lady @ window 16 she was just questioning me but against all odds, I went, I saw and conquered. Thank U all for the prayer and ur assistance so far.

slim white lady i guess,she so strict i spent almost 15mins wit her during my own time

Reading tru your interview experience,personally,i feel you were denied cos of no picture evidence

ienny: This is my story... myself,wifey and daughter applied for dv 2013 on the 1st of nov.2011. We had our daughter jan.2011 and my wife was again 8 months pregnant at the time we applied. The boy eventually came around dec.2011 which boils down to the fact that we had 2 babies in a single callender year. To the glory of God we got to know we won mid month of may 2012. We included the boy in the form we sent to KCC not minding whether or not we will be schrewed by CO to defend that the boy is actually ours as he was not included in the initial application or that the CO might find it a little difficult to believe that we actaully had 2 kids in a single calender year.Our interview was schedule for 7a.m jan 4.We did all the security checks, paid for 4 of us and all our documents were collected. Trust me i follow this thread on per second basis, so all our docs were intact and well arranged. Meanwhile my kids were playing all about in the hall such that they were noticed by all fellow 'interviewees' . We expected to be interviewed like around 10a.m cos so many people were ahead of us only for us to see our tag number flashing on window 13(the black american angel).The white lady had been engaging a woman with 2kids before we realised we the next to be interviewed.We quickly jumped up went straight to the black angel, at that time i knew is a done deal already based on the testimonies i have heard about her.My confidence was over doubled and i felt so relief as she engaged us on the below
CO: Good morning with much smiles
US: Good morning with much smiles
CO: What do u do?
ME: Am a channel manager in ....
CO: Can you explain that to me
ME: Bla bla .. and she said ok
CO: Turned to wifey..when did u get married?
WIFEY: 2010
CO: What do u do
WIFEY: Trading
CO: In what
WIFEY: Designers perfumes and clothings
CO: Do you have your wedding album here
ME: Yes,i brought out our photo book and she was like wow this is big and beautiful. Flipped through 3 pages and stopped.
CO: Do u have pictures of your kids when they were small
ME: Yes, brought out pics of me,wifey&daughter when she was six months and also pics of me,wifey,daughter and son when my boy clocked six months also.
CO: Congratulations follows right immediately.....

I sincerely appreciate all the contributions and efforts of all in this forum to actualising this great dream.May the good God approves all waiting for their interviews, those that are current but yet to receive their 2nl and to all those waiting to be current. This journey requires a whole lot of patience ooo and prayers. I also really really enjoy most of the comic relief i get from some of the wonderful people in this forum, they actually helped me a lot to ease the stress of waiting and tension. Temmy, gentiger, adesoji, brightmore and others please i personally humbly request for some more comic relief to celebrate my success story. Many thanks all.

CO:

Spoondar: Many people dont know about the Canadian Immigration thing, i dont know if still the Application for Permanent Residence –Provincial Nominee Program to Canada is on because it was put on halt that is why i applied for the dvlottery coz initially we wanted to immigrate to canada. he can also try that coz you go with your family as well. Canada encourages applications for permanent residence from people with abilities, education and work experience that will contribute to the Canadian economy. The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows provincial governments to choose immigrants according to the economic needs of the province. Before you can apply to immigrate to Canada as a provincial nominee, you must first be nominated by a province or territory. Like soye35 says if Manitoba Province is good to go let Sakeem try it out.

But canada Immigration runs seems to be a little easy if you have the cash,use the right immigration agent and have patience.I would have loved it too

Hi all,e no easy ooooo,man must hustle to pay bills,thursday- monday have been always been my peak period(not menstral period oo )and i neva had chance to read your comments till today.Over 200 comments made and i sat down to read all.

Stay and be blessed.
NO BE GOD?

tinubaby: Jus realised I might hav sent the wrong picture size to kcc wen I submitted my dsp forms. I noticed wen I went to take a picture for my interview n that was much smaller. Do u thnk kcc would hav told me about it. Ave bn scheduled for an interview. I hope it wouldn't be a problem. Also do I need that same size for my medicals and police report? How many pictures are required for the medicals and police report. I knw my questns are a lot but pls help tinubaby

its no big issue,just present the correctly sized photos(3) in your interview date

I Hate 9ja: Director lo n soro....................Confirmed from the Headquarter,
@ahmed no arguement
@payless no comment
Oga temmy....bawo ni ise....so n roll

we thank God, please am not trying to attack anyone bt i felt the issue need not be argued on cos the difference is clear in terms on infrastructure even though they may be charging equilvalent rents per month.I used to work in Lekki and my company pays about 2m per year for rent and we still struggle to get water and other things needed but here in US,everything is available once you pay your bills.

All those going for interview sooner or later, i wish you all success.Have been busy of late but thank God some people are doing a good job to help others. As medical fees,I think Qlife is more expensive and maybe cos they are new in this business and trying to make as much profit as they can. It cost my Baby just 4500,my wife less 30k also and me 33k during my own time(I used KAMORASS then but they are not in use again)for all including all the vaccines

I Hate 9ja: @ adesoji,brightmon&temmy.......as u're having ur ssn @ ur respective base,would u apply for another one if u relocate to another state........is ur ssn valid for all u.s state.

once you are issued SSN,that will be it for life,i doubt if its changeable.Its your life PINCODE and will be carried about no matter where you go

ahmedgafar7: :ocan you disclose the infrastructures you get i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̅ your current house

stop arguing abot this issue,the two cant be compared in terms of infrastrutures

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL,WE ARE STILL LESS 5HOURS AWAY FROM NEW YEAR IN TEXAS

[quote author=adesojiaderemi@]who be the person? when I told you somebody google compulsory the other time e be like say I dey lie.[/quote]them many wey dey tell me say i speak good english ooo,its absurd!

Uncle adesoji Aderemi, wetin dey happen oooo, can you imagine these idiots asking me where i learned english? Over 70% of black and latinos i meet tells me i speak good english(them no know say na P7 i get for english).Do they think Africa is so poor and dont have literate people? i dont even mention Nigeria again cos most of them dont know Naija except Africa. Some stil doubt i finished University 10years back.These people too believed in themselves.

nero xp: tanx 2 u temmy,am lukin 4ward 2 see u wen i get 2 texas by nxt year nd by SPECIAL GRACE OF GOD.its wel

Health IT 9-Week Certificate Program

Overview of Health Information Technology and Health Information Exchange Certificate Program:

Nine-week, full-time program offered three times per year (January, June, and September).
Designed to “fast track” university graduates into Health IT employment
Recognition and support from and collaboration with pioneers in the e-health industry, healthcare providers and government
Expert faculty in both theoretical and applied areas of Health IT.
180 hours of course content in healthcare policy, economics, electronic health records, health information exchange, project management, workflow and process redesign, quality improvement, and the business of medicine.
Real-world practicum experience with vendors, consultants and healthcare providers
Professional development and job placement services, including help with resumes, interview skills, and events that connect students with Health IT executives and hiring managers.
Certificate program is first in the nation to:
deliver hands-on learning with multiple electronic health record systems side-by-side in a one-of-a kind Health IT Learning Center
provide a health information exchange laboratory (HIE) for students to gain hands-on experience with healthcare data interoperability in a simulated environment
graduate students from an ONC-funded university based training program!
On average, 92% of program graduates seeking Health IT jobs have found employment with more than 40 organizations in Texas and nationwide
Recognition and affirmation from Dr. Farzad Mostashari, National Coordinator, Health Information Technology, and Dr. David Blumenthal, former National Coordinator, Health Information Technology, United States Health and Human Service



“The EHR Learning Lab itself was extraordinary.” A.C.

“It was incredible to have the chance to work with six systems—in all likelihood, no matter which area of the industry I enter into, that knowledge will be an incredible tool.” M.D.

Intensive contact with the Health IT business community is facilitated throughout the program by the inclusion of expert speakers from government and industry.

“I felt privileged to have multiple guest speakers address us from various viewpoints, such as a community health perspective, public policy approach, and global research agenda.” N.F.

“One part of the program that absolutely should not go unnoticed is the quality of the guest speakers that we were fortunate enough to have.” E.H.

“Another facet to the program was various guest speakers from the healthcare and HIT industry. They brought different perspectives and helped tie in topics that I had been reading in journal articles. I will never forget Dr. Deborah Peel and her discussion on patient privacy rights. She exuded passion, dedication, and a thorough understanding of her work. I feel very lucky that knowledgeable speakers were a part of this program.” V.R.

Students in the program are placed into two-week practica in major cities in Texas and around the nation with vendors, consultants, healthcare providers and government. Click here for a list of practicum hosts.

"The final 3 weeks of the program I was assigned to e-MDs for my practicum experience. This is the portion of the program that really got me excited to be involved. I shadowed a support team called the A-team for one week, the implementation project manager team for a week and the onsite chart training team for a week… All in all, the experience with e-MDs was wonderful and got me very excited about my future in HIT, especially since I found that practically everything I learned in the classroom was relevant and applied at e-MDs." D.S.

"Our last class was the practicum where we had a specific internship. I was working in Austin with CTG, a consulting company. I was specifically working on the environmental scan analysis. I had no clue as to what that was going in and asked someone but they said "I don't know, but I'm sure you will know all about it when you're finished". After a week in I knew exactly what it was. I worked with Mr. Jim Campbell looking at the survey responses from several Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) in Texas. We analyzed all of the data received and made conclusions, drew trends, and supported them with charts and graphs. Our conclusions were presented at the Texas Health Services Authority board meeting which was really exciting to see! We were also working on finding more about e-prescribing in different pharmacies as well as public health. I used the terminology from our workflow class and used the combined knowledge of all of the classes to give me a basic understanding of what was going on. They treated us like junior analysts and gave us a lot of work to do, but it was all worth it." S.T.

Students

To help graduates who successfully complete the program find immediate employment in the field of Health IT, students are provided with career resources including workshops on resumes and cover letters, informational interviewing, and job interview preparation. A highlight of the program is the opportunity for students to carry out research projects focused on current topics in Health IT and to present their findings to industry experts in a poster format.

A total of 333 students (in six cohorts ) have graduated from the program since June 2010. Employment statistics for graduates seeking Health IT jobs averages 92%. The number of on-campus interviews facilitated for each cohort has grown over time, and students receive from 2-11 interviews. The average salary of program graduates is 52,000. Salaries accepted by graduates have ranged from $42,000 - >$100,000.
