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

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

    I'm going for my RN so therefore there are opportunities in the hospital for me once I graduate as long as new grad positions are open. Right now I'm a LVN in a clinic. I have no idea where I made...

  2. What do RN's make in California?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Peanut06's topic in California Nursing

    I believe that's to start off. I make that as a LVN working in a clinic up in the Bay Area. As a new grad RN you can make almost $50.00 if not even more depending where you work. You may want to...

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

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

  5. NA to CNA

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to KEN44's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It all depends on the state. Here in CA you must be certified before you're allowed to work in any facility. If you do end up working before you get your CNA then they're going against CA...

  6. Deeply saddened

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

    It's sad that it usually takes newbies and students to report stuff like this. It's so true what Fuzzy stated, once you report them (and you did the right thing) and it's found out that it was you,...

  7. LPNs need co-signer for verbal orders

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

    I don't work in home health but I do work at a clinic and I don't need a RN signature when I take verbal orders from the doctor. The doctor must come in and write his orders in the AM but certainly I...

  8. Im proud to be an LPN !

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

    LVN/LPN/RN WE ARE ALL NURSES!!!! The scope of practice varies by state and in CA there are few differences between LVNs and RNs. Of course most RNs would beg to differ and would argue as to why...

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

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

  12. ?ILLINOIS Licensing Application

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Daigorot's topic in International Nursing

    Did you try contacting Illinois? I think they mean the total number of years from your nursing course. What I've would do is I would put in the length of time for your nursing course. Then put an...

  13. Is there a waiting list for the LVN-RN bridge program in California?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to luckystudentnurseRN's topic in LPN to RN

    You might want to try WGUs program. They have a prelicensure program and the minimum is a CNA, and since you will have your LVN you might be done a bit quicker. You may want to contact them for...

  14. Excelsior--- What states work with program?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to vanagonnurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    My state does it on a case by case basis, and of course this is so vague. I've tried emailing the board but so far no response on this

  15. Western Governor's University

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Faeriewand's topic in Western Governors University

    Any chances of coming to the Bay Area in CA? I really liked the format of the program, but unfortunately I don't live in the LA area for the clinicals and was discouraged applying since I would be...

    Thank you for clarification on what you meant. The pass rates you meant are on the first try. My school has a 100% pass rates for my class and 95% pass rate for the classes before me on average. The...

  19. Kenyan nurses abroad where are u guys l need a helping hand here

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to neema55's topic in International Nursing

    It depends on where you want to go. Unless you have a PD, coming to the US is out of the question since it would take years before you have a chance at a visa. With the economic situation right now...

  20. Is the hiring freeze/retrogression of foreign RNs over?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to rn4ever?'s topic in International Nursing

    Retrogression is still ongoing and how they got hired could have been in several different ways, most likely they're not new grads as there aren't any visas available unless they had a priority date...

  22. CNA OB Gyn

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to 7babygoldfish's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Actually in this field experience does matter. This is a very distinct unit and it's not easy to get into. It's not an automatic transfer once you get in, 98% of the time you're going to be...

  23. CNA OB Gyn

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to 7babygoldfish's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just posted this on another thread. Take it from someone who applied for a transfer within the hospital to the postpartum unit. It's very tough 11 internal applicants and about a few dozen outside....

  24. Nursing Assistant position

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

    Honestly you don't have the qualifications to work in that unit. That unit is very specific and it's considered a specialty. They're pretty peticular on who gets to work there. Usually those...

  25. Surgical Tech? Anyone have info on this?

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

    It all depends on where you work. The pay around my area is about $3.00 or $4.00 more than a CNA in the hospital. I've never worked with them personally but have ran across them when I've floated to...
