  1. Fired without a cause

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

    I'm curious if the person who supposedly was rough with a patient was even fired. If not, then you can question why you were fired. That would just chap my hide if the other person

  2. CNA to RN

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

  3. CLINICAL HOURS for LICENSING..WHAT TO DO!?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to jdizzle2's topic in International Nursing

    I've stated something similar before and unfortunately some of the JC's in CA are steering away from that now due to the budget cuts. Hopefully he/she chooses a state that isn't in such a bad...

  5. CLINICAL HOURS for LICENSING..WHAT TO DO!?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to jdizzle2's topic in International Nursing

    Sounds like you're in a real pickle. You should call back the CA BRN and ask them "where you can take this class" and what graduates have done in the past. Good

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to kruby's topic in California Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to lina.561's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've encountered Fuzzy before on this website and I don't think the person really meant to belittle you and I didn't think the comment was rude either. I think Fuzzy was just making a statement that...

  14. Cost of LVN vs. NCLEX score

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to CAwant2be's topic in California Nursing

    I'm working as a LVN right now after months of looking for a job. I'm able to use my license and I'm referred to as "the nurse". I am a nurse! Most importantly I love my job and I enjoy helping...

  15. Cost of LVN vs. NCLEX score

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to CAwant2be's topic in California Nursing

    Seems like most here are looking at cost. Sometimes cost isn't everything. There are some who are willing to pay in order to advance because the wait lists and applicants are outrageous at some of...

  16. First day on the job. What should I bring with me??

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to josebeltran88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Kimberly thanks for touching on stethoscope and BP cuffs. I forgot that those type of facilities usually provide them for your use. But it's best to get one for yourself because usually some end up...

  18. CNA to RN

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

    As a CNA I started out in the float pool once I was hired in the hospital. Let me tell you that's the best place to be hired. You get to experience so many different units and meet so many different...

  19. First day on the job. What should I bring with me??

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to josebeltran88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It all depends on the type of facility you're working in. As for the ibuprofen I would leave that at home. Some places don't want you to be under any type of medication unless prescribed by a...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to tameca25's topic in California Nursing

    I would still go with the LVN program all over again. I learned so much during my program and either way we are still an asset because we are "nurses" too! Kudos for you for going through the LVN...

  23. Think CNAs will pick up LPNs duties in hospitals?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to lina.561's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What state are you located in that would let a CNA do that in a hospital? That is the first that I've heard. That's scary that any state would allow a CNA to hang IV's, insert foleys, and intubate...
