  1. Application for Licensure by NCLEX Pass Endorsement - CA to VT

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to jo_stan2007's topic in International Nursing

    Also contact the boards of nursing as they are your best

  2. what STATE for NCLEX?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to mnelmac's topic in International Nursing

    If you plan on working in CA then your best bet is to use CA as your state. CA does require a valid ss# in order to apply for the NCLEX. Even if you use a state that doesn't require a ss# and plan...

  3. online nursing programs that don't require you to be a RN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to smallwonders07's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The ABSN is an accelerated program for those who already hold a bachelors degree in another field. The BON websites are the ones that I metioned above, Nevada & Wisconsin. Good

  4. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    It's the clinical portion that most states have an issue with. Sheesh, just set up a clinical portion with each state that way all students can attend Excelsior. Why does Excelsior have to have a...

  5. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    At least Georgia will allow you to have 350 hours of clinical preceptorship to license you as a RN. California refuses to even consider that. I want to do the Excelsior program so badly because it's...

  6. RN-itis?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to dreamer827's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    RNs who have never been CNAs before rely too much on the CNA. There are LVNs who also have LVNitis. A pet peeve of mine is when you hear over the intercom " I need a CNA to room yadda yadda yadda, I...

  7. First week on job/night shift/wants me to start rounds later?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to camci's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I understand what you're saying, and more people need to be as compassionate as you are. But for the load that you're carrying on noc shift and the work that you're doing you will get burnt out fast....

  8. Pinoy nclex takers

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to luke21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's really a hit or miss. My friend went back to the Philippines to study her BSN. It was a long and regretful process for her in order for her to finally sit down for her NCLEX, but they didn't...

  9. Chemical Restraints

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to interceptinglight's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It sounds like this patient is most definately high risk patient and needs that 1:1 24hr care. I hate chemically restraining someone because usually you can tell when they've been heavily medicated...

  10. First week on job/night shift/wants me to start rounds later?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to camci's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When I was a CNA I worked noc shift, and let me tell you DON'T WAKE THE PATIENT UNLESS YOU HAVE TO. You can do your rounds every 2 hours and not have to wake them up. All you have to do is make sure...

  11. online nursing programs that don't require you to be a RN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to smallwonders07's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I haven't heard of any LVN programs that are online. As I stated before I don't remember the names of the ABSN programs in Wisconsin & Nevada. You would have to do some leg work and check their...

  12. Who's medication error was it?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to NJFek's topic in Correctional

    I also forgot to add that any inmate that's on drugs will take ANYTHING just to get a high. It doesn't have to be narcotics or NSAIDS. I've seen cocaine addicts crush anything they can get their...

  13. Who's medication error was it?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to NJFek's topic in Correctional

    When you circle initials it doesn't necessairly mean they refused the med. It can also mean the medication wasn't given. If there's no explanation, most will take it as the pt.

  14. How is the job market in California?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to lovelivelearn's topic in California Nursing

    We had a lot of wonderful Canadian travel nurses, but unfortunately due to the budget cuts, they have been let go. Some of them were able to find jobs elsewhere but the vast majority have went home....

  15. LA County Hospital Hiring Process

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to MajanRN's topic in California Nursing

    It's the background check that's the issue. I will tell you that they are doing a VERY EXTENSIVE background check that takes months to clear. My friend got hired by the state and also took almost 3...

  16. online nursing programs that don't require you to be a RN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to smallwonders07's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There are several programs out there that are ABSNs that are partially online. There's one in Wisconsin, and Nevada that I'm aware of. I'm sorry I don't remember their names but the information is...

  17. SSN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to bsnwnab's topic in International Nursing

    Some people were able to get away with putting down another # other than a valid US ss#. Licenses were issued but if you contact the BRN they will tell you it has to be a valid US ss#. The BRNs need...

  18. NCLEX-Fingerprint Card Rejection

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to captain byakuya's topic in International Nursing

    Also with the livescan if one of your prints is rejected they will fix it right then and there. It's more convenient. Good

  19. Foreign fresh grad BSN taking NCLEX-RN in new york

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to bookaddict's topic in Nurse Registration

    I have to agree with Silverdragon it's also pretty clear to me what the NCBRN is asking, no critical thinking necessary. If there is something you don't understand then contact the BRN to assist you....

  20. Canadian TN, HR startdate in California, and SSN dilemma

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to C0252786's topic in International Nursing

    Wow you're really in a pickle. I'm unsure how long it would take to receive your ss# but did you try showing the border your job offer letter? Since this is an immigration issue I would contact an...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to nicrn7's topic in California Nursing

  23. Vermont requires NCLES-RN Refresher course?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to mark22's topic in Nurse Registration

    Check the BRN website for Vermont and see if they have a list of refresher courses that are board approved. If you can't locate it then contact the board and ask them for a list. Good

  24. Who's medication error was it?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to NJFek's topic in Correctional

    Why would someone lie about a med????? HELLOOOOO, they are in prison. They are not there for their good deeds. Trust your co-worker over an inmate any day of the week. Also keep in mind you...

  25. California, can you use an experienced LVN?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to romez's topic in California Nursing

    Nobody wants to pay to train you. Also you've been out of the health care field for 5 years and that's considered outdated. Did you try to do a refreher course for LVNs? That may help. The prison...
