  1. I could use some emotional support!

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to pupsnpaws's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Don't worry about your age. Age has nothing to do with it. You made it this far, just study harder. Also if you have access to NCLEX practice questions on CD, I would go over the Mother Baby...

  2. Starting clinicals on Monday! Anyone else?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to NM nurse to be's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to HopefulNurse90's topic in California Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to cupcake231's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  7. H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration Advice

  11. H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration Advice

  12. Staring School TODAY!!

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

    As I've stated it all depends. For me it was the best doing the LVN (LPN) first and then bridging over to RN. I didn't want to wait for someone to accept me. Yes, I am having a problem getting...

  13. Trying to find right CNA program-Please Help!

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to rocknroll01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Love_RN's topic in International Nursing
