  1. LVN-RN 30 unit-option california

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to littleone03's topic in LPN to RN

    I heard that the 30 unit option would prevent you from getting a ADN or higher. This is just a rumor and was never confirmed by any counselor. I would contact a school counselor and find out for...

  2. RN Grad looking for a RN opportunity in California

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to vinnyRN's topic in California Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to SmithH75's topic in International Nursing

    What Silverdragon stated is so true, having experience doesn't help you regarding taking the NCLEX. I've spoken to many seasoned nurses and all of them would say that if they had to take the NCLEX...

  7. NCLEX from NZ

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to SmithH75's topic in International Nursing

    There are many books out there on amazon.com that can help you. IMO, I would go with Prentice Hall "Comprehensive Revie for NCLEX-RN" I've heard that those questions are more NCLEX than Saunders for...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to bsnwnab's topic in International Nursing

  12. Nights are killing me

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to eveningsky339's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you think working night shift at a nursing home is hard, just wait until you hit the ER any shift. Working the ER isn't as easy or as perked up as one might think. Yes, it does have its ups but...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Sojourner LVN's topic in California Nursing

    You're going to be very limited but don't rule out going to the cc. Yes, you messed up back then, but you're a different person now. There are several schools that go through that lottery system and...

  18. What is the easiest state to apply for?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to gracejoyp's topic in International Nursing

    If all you did was pass the NCLEX then you're not endorsing since you don't have a license to endorse. All you're doing is forwarding your pass results to another state to keep the file

    ADN, BSN, MSN are all graduate nurses, yes they are nurses. Once they pass the state exam and receive their license then they're "Registered Nurses". Of course that's in the US and it looks like in...

  25. "Work History" - include clinical rotations or not?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to NorthBay's topic in California Nursing

    If you have no work experience then you need to leave it blank. Don't ever include clinical rotations in nursing as a form of experience because it isn't. There's nothing wrong with not having work...
