    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to AzMom81's topic in Online Distance Learning

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

  3. Excelsior College

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to fromcalifornia's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You will put all colleges attended on your resume as they lead to degrees. ADN is a degree, BSN is another degree so therefore you would put both of them. Also now employers are asking to see...

  4. Online for Assoc. RN??

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to AzMom81's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well that statement is an obvious. Most likely a good online program is going to have theory online with open discussions, and clinicals at a nursing facility (LTC, hospital etc). Nobody can take an...

  6. is the amount of time a nurse volunteer in a hospital be considerd as work experience

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to pillilialuis9652's topic in International Nursing

    Is this recent? I know a few years back they were hiring anybody off the streets with a degree and weren't requiring experience. As a matter of fact we had some new grads who came over and had no...

  8. The Life of a New Nurse in the Philippines

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Salvie's topic in General Nursing

  9. I FEEL LIKE I'VE MADE AN ABSOLUTE MISTAKE BECOMING AN LVN! I regret doing this!

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to luckystudentnurseRN's topic in California Nursing

  10. No LPN bridge program

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to jra2127's topic in LPN to RN

    Indiana State University is a good school from what I hear, but it's a big turn off for me as they are basically having you challenge classes that you've already taken for your VN/PN programs. I may...

  12. breach of contract

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to anamica's topic in International Nursing

    As stated before you should speak to an attorney and the agency and ask them. Only they can help you. Nobody on this board can help you as nobody has read your contract with the agency. Good

  13. Warning - excelsior students

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to robertjankowski's topic in Online Distance Learning

  15. Volunteer Nurses: Counted as a Work Experience?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to rlssem's topic in Philippines

    In the US volunteer experience is just that "volunteer". In order for it to be counted as experience you must have "paid experience". In the hospitals they're looking for RN's with experience and...

  16. ~So much competion between programs it's now a political game~

    NurseCubanitaRN2b posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've been doing some research regarding distance education. I've come to the conclusion that it's nothing more than a political game between nursing schools and those schools using the Boards Of...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to NurseCubanitaRN2b's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am one of those who believes in clinical instruction. But at the sametime I don't believe in CAs requirement of clinical instruction in concurrent with theory. I believe that a clinical...

  19. Any Updates On Excelsior and Virginia

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to ltsgnn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    So for Virginia they have the option to go through Excelsior as long as they did some sort of preceptorship? If that's the case, I would gladly take that as the CA BRN wont even answer my questions...

  20. not RN at philippines

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Shiela Lowman's topic in International Nursing

    That's a good explanation for someone who is in a similiar situation as Shiela. But I can tell you it doesn't sometimes work. It all depends on who receives your application. I personally know several...

  21. When will I receive my Nclex Eligibility in California

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to PinayLaLa21's topic in Nurse Registration

    This is the very reason why it's NOT recommended that one go abroad in order to get a nursing education. Too much paperwork, and lots of frustration that comes with it. You may have better luck if...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to judycollingwell's topic in International Nursing
