    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Aleksandra's topic in International Nursing

    It's the norm over here too. Is it right, no, but that's just how it is. A friend of mine who is Filipina (DON) openly stated that's how she got her job. But at least she's a good nurse and has a...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to kv07's topic in California Nursing

    Your school should be able to help you with this. They should be able to direct you to places that offer that program. Good

  8. Is there a trick to pulling up pants when resident has trouble standing??

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

    Ouchhhh very back drenching. The best way is to pull them up as high as you can while they're in bed. When you attempt to stand them up, you and someone else can pull them up then. If you don't...

  9. Recomend an acredited LPN-RN/BSN that Cal accepts

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to newtress's topic in California Nursing

    Western Governors University may be another option for you. It's reasonably priced but then again you are left with the whole taking classes that you've already passed during your LVN/LPN programs....

  10. Recomend an acredited LPN-RN/BSN that Cal accepts

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to newtress's topic in California Nursing

    ISU is a good program but they make you challenge courses that you've already completed through your LVN/LPN program which is a waste of time and money. It sets you back a full semester to be tested...

  11. Any Excelsior Graduates Endorse Into CA Successfully

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Nurse_AngelaNV2CA's topic in California Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Ona7's topic in Immigration Advice

    Check the NY BRN website & read through it thoroughly. If you still have questions or concerns it's best to contact them as they are the best resource. Good

  14. Advice desperately needed!

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Havivah's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm sorry but I had to laugh when you called yourself an older student. You are by far NOT AN OLDER STUDENT. You're still young and you have enough time to finish your nursing degree and still have...

  15. Endorsement Application to Vermont

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Ona7's topic in Immigration Advice

    People really should take the time and read all the information on the BRN website. If there are still questions or comments those should be directed to the state board either via telephone call or...

  16. recommend a state/county/city/agency, willing to relocate

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to NewMac's topic in International Nursing

    Generally a BSN isn't considered a specialty position. If you're in a specialized field such as Midwife or Nurse Anesthesiologist then that would qualify. Other non nursing positions as in...

  17. recommend a state/county/city/agency, willing to relocate

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to NewMac's topic in International Nursing

    In nursing a BSN ISN'T a requirement for an entry level position so therefore it doesn't meet the specialty requirement. The minimum requirement is an associates & some do hold diplomas in...

  18. recommend a state/county/city/agency, willing to relocate

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to NewMac's topic in International Nursing

    If you don't have experience then the H1b visa isn't an option. Be hopeful all you want but reality is that hospitals are laying off experienced nurses all over the country. So most aren't willing...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sometimes people with a BSN in progress can take it as long as the minimum clinical & theory hours are met. Some have just a diploma, and the 30 unit option holders don't have a

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You really want to hear something REALLY funny? CA doesn't require you to have the degree to take the NCLEX. But, they do require you to have the minimum clinical hours in order to take the exam...

  21. NCLEX: Which State Board to apply?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to CoEr's topic in International Nursing

    I think the reason why most are looking at states that don't require a ss# is so that they can have a license on hand. As Silverdragon pointed out due to retrogression, I can't see the rush either....

  22. ATTENTION: Arkansas Board of Nursing Now Requires SSN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Hushdawg's topic in International Nursing

    For the most part all fees are nonrefundable and it states so on the application. However when applying for a license most were under the impression that they would be allowed to obtain a license...

  24. Local Board Exam first or NCLEX immediately?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Yasha Alexandria's topic in International Nursing

    the unemployment rate in the US is high at the moment. The US isn't the place to migate to at this time. If you don't already have a visa waiting for you, it's going to be very hard to get one...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to amon1005's topic in International Nursing

    Employers don't like to see gaps in employment history. Right now we're even seeing that RNs who have been out of school for a few years aren't able to get into the new grad programs because they're...
