  2. Fastest LPN to BSN Program

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to arustyrobot's topic in LPN to RN

    How can a LVN-RN be only 8 months and a LPN-BSN only 9 months? That doesn't make any sense. Is it accelerated and you go to school 6 days a week with clinicals? Is that online and all your general...

  3. Could anyone help me to find a good school for becoming LPN in Boston, please?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to aduran90's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    i'm unsure how it's done in massachussetts but here in ca we have a list of lvn schools found directly on the bvnpt website. you may want to start your search there nursing - health and human...

  4. Fastest LPN to BSN Program

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to arustyrobot's topic in LPN to RN

    If you don't hold a BA already in another field then going from LVN-BSN will most likely take more than 2 years. Did you try WGU BSN program. They require a minimum of a CNA in order to apply. It's...

  5. F1 to green card or h1B how did u beat retrogression

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to mysticlad's topic in International Nursing

    For your CCN what would you need to do in order to obain that certificate? I know for a CRNA you need to have a minimum of 2 years experience as a staff nurse and your BA before you're allowed to...

  6. F1 to green card or h1B how did u beat retrogression

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to mysticlad's topic in International Nursing

    Your post sounds too good to be true, and you know what they say about that. "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.'' Did you do your homework and make sure that your ADN would be...

  7. Im proud to be an LPN !

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Loveuandme's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm sorry if I offended you with regards to education....What I meant was that LVN/LPNs always have to hear "Well the RN is more educated than the LVN", well that's not necessarily true. Yes in...

  8. Deeply saddened

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

    I know many nurses and CNAs who are excellent at what they do and they work in the LTC setting, they prefer it over the hospital. They don't enjoy the fast paced environment that you have in the...

  9. online CRNA programs

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to shastamc's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I know that this thread is old. But thank you for the information. There's nothing with online education. Obviously there should be a clinical compnent to the CRNA that must be completed at a...

  10. Bay Area LVN programs

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to muffinCNA15's topic in California Nursing

    Those people that tell you to go straight for your RN must have gotten in easy then. Either that or they don't seem to know how difficult it is in this day to apply when you have 200-300 applicants...

  11. Ohlone College ADN fall 2010

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to StayingCalm's topic in California Nursing

    Their prerequisites expire a lot earlier than most colleges, hence why I didn't apply to Ohlone. I wasn't about to repeat Human Anatomy again for the 3rd time due to expiration date. Stupid if you...

  12. TURKISH NURSES

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to istanbul's topic in International Nursing

    New country!!! Hey how is nursing there in Turkey? What do you have to do in order to get licensed in Turkey? How's the educational system in nursing there? How many years would it take you to...

  13. Nursing & Pre-Nursing Students - Desired Area of Nursing?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to lil pixi's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    For those who want to do ICU, CCU, or any speciality like that and want to go on for their CRNA, do you know of any schools that allow you do do that online? Clinicals obviously have to be done at a...

  14. Reality for CNAs?

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

    All it depends on the person. There's nothing wrong with bathing someone of the opposite sex, I've bathed both male and female. I didn't have any problem with it. But everyone is different. You...

  15. PCT question???

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to scrubs09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You also need to know EKG from my understanding. I'm not a PCT so I don't know. But I do know that it's a different job that goes beyond the scope of a CNA. I would assume you can't challenge the...

  16. CNA to RN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Sudiswa07's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    They are out there, but unfortunately you have some of the "I'm above that" type of nurses (RNs and LVNs). Call lights can be flashing and the nurses will sitt on their tushes and just let it flash...

  17. How soon do you start looking for a job

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

    I've heard of NAs hired in CA, but they weren't allowed to touch the patients. They were able to pass out water and observe the CNA, and fetch things like linen, make the beds, set up the areas for...

  18. CNA to RN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Sudiswa07's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't get people who refuse to do peri-care or wipe butts. I wouldn't want to be left in feces, and I'm sure they wouldn't like to either, so why make someone sit in crud and let it dry up? I...

  19. If you love your CNA classes,,will I probably love being a real cna?

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

    That would depend on a lot of things. Going to your CNA class, and actually working as a CNA are two totally different things. Going to your CNA class you see the glorified situation, and working as...

  20. Seems to be quite the trend...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to AmandaS<3's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That's not a comment that I would want someone to tell me, and it's certainly not sweet, and definately not funny. I would consider that as an insult, and we must learn to tune out things like that. I...

  21. PCT question???

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to scrubs09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    How can a RPT qualify for you to challenge the PCT? Those are two totally different things. That's like asking the RN to challenge the RT exam. Although the RPT is part of the PCT

  22. CNA to RN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Sudiswa07's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's good to take the CNA class that way you can really see if nursing is what you really want to do. Some people don't take the CNA course and don't work as a CNA and then once they get into nursing...

  23. everest lpn graduate can they take online lpn-rn classes out of state?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to beac's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  25. Nursing & Pre-Nursing Students - Desired Area of Nursing?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to lil pixi's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yes, I believe you can do so much in general med surg. As Jolle stated you can get a great foundation there, which is true. You never really know if you're going to like a place until you experience...
