    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to GAVSsugarpot's topic in Immigration Advice

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Chris G's topic in California Nursing

  8. HIB approval

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to herheys8's topic in International Nursing

    Wow, I can't believe an agency would tell you to overstay your visa. You're going to be working as a Dietician or as a RN? That may complicates things even more for you. Good

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to rn4ever?'s topic in International Nursing

    There aren't any visas available for new nurses from any country unless they are coming under another visa or had a PD from many years ago. They also don't qualify for a H1b

  11. New Grad RN - Need Advice :)

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to srdl91's topic in California Nursing

  13. Undecided in which LVN school to attend?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Chris G's topic in California Nursing

  15. I witnessed something and can't do anything about it

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to The Princess Bride's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Chris G's topic in California Nursing

    You are still young! I laughed when I read your comment about your age. There are people that go back to school at age 50, so you still have a long career ahead of you in nursing. You're never too...

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