1. CA BRN New Requirements For NCLEX RN international students

   Mobiusrain replied to brooklyn03's topic in Registration

   They are probably specifically asking for the signed clinical case forms that students applying for Philippine licensure have to furnish to the Philippine BoN. Your clinical cases would be listed on them and would include the signatures of the hospit...

   It is a logbook kept by training hospitals in the Philippines at ORs and L&D units where cases are logged. Whenever a student nurse assists with a particular minor or major OR case, assists with or performs a vaginal delivery, or performs cord ca...

3. CA BRN New Requirements For NCLEX RN international students

   Mobiusrain replied to brooklyn03's topic in Registration

   Like others have said, there are many other states you can apply to, although you will have to go through more hoops such as CGFNS, TOEFL, etc. Or you can apply as LVN if moving out of state is not an option for you. Frustrating, but better than noth...

4. CA BRN New Requirements For NCLEX RN international students

   Mobiusrain replied to brooklyn03's topic in Registration

   While you make some very valid points, the denial letters applicants have been receiving all point to the concurrency issue, about the cases being completed out-of-sync with theory. My impression now is that CA BRN is using this concurrency issue as ...

   Mobiusrain replied to brooklyn03's topic in Registration

   Wow those are harsh statements, but sadly all true. Going through these countless posts about frustrations with CA BRN denying applications is so depressing, especially when the problem is a TECHNICALITY. My heart goes out to all those Filipino aspir...

6. RN in nursing home

   Mobiusrain replied to marmbrusterRN's topic in Geriatric

   There have been past threads here talking about the same frustrations in LTC. It's nice to know that many of us share the same feelings about the poor work conditions in nursing homes. We are frequently misunderstood about the reason we hate LTC and ...

   Yeah, SF Bay Area.

8. Why is LTC so hated

   Mobiusrain replied to MadameFreckles's topic in Geriatric

   Turnover rate for nurses in LTC is relatively higher than nursing positions in acute/hospital settings, so newgrads are hired easily in LTC. Newgrad/no experience RNs here in the Bay Area start at around 31-33/hr.

9. Why is LTC so hated

   Mobiusrain replied to MadameFreckles's topic in Geriatric

   I'm one of the posters who gave kudos to DNS on the go's post. I was so immersed with many of the points made and how much of them held true to my situation and how I felt. I must have overlooked the derogatory statements about LTC nurses not up to s...

10. Why is LTC so hated

    Mobiusrain replied to MadameFreckles's topic in Geriatric

    After being stuck with LTC for more than 2 years, all I could say is that i really do hate it! When I first started, I was oriented for about 5 days and then was put on the floor right after to fend for myself. The first month was absolutely horrible...

11. LTC Nursing...Who likes it, who doesn't?

    Mobiusrain replied to Julz034's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with that. I'm currently working as an RN in a LTC facility because I have no choice at the moment. I'm still looking hard for hospitals that are willing to train because I don't want to be stuck here. I've been working LTC for about ...

14. Longing to get out of LTC

    Mobiusrain replied to evilolive's topic in Geriatric

    I'm only on my 2nd day in LTC and I can already feel the burn . 4 days of orientation definitely isn't enough! My whole 8 hour shift is mostly med pass, can't even get to documentation and summaries without taking overtime. Everyone says it'll get ea...

15. Any advice for a New nurse starting in LTC??

    Mobiusrain replied to katbird21's topic in Geriatric

    Ask, ask, and ask. I'm a new RN myself who just started in LTC. I was oriented 4 days and now I just finished my 2nd day on the floor by myself...I take so long on med pass that I need to take 2 extra hours overtime to finish everything else. I'm com...
