  1. Finally got a job offer, at a great hospital!

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

    I think it's safe ot say that they not only recommended you a job but also extended a job offer!!!!!! Congratulations, you've overcome some very high hurdles. Yes, it usually takes along time as in...

  2. Does volunteering count as experience?

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

    Tavia I'm having the same issue, I call and they don't return my calls. What advise was given to me was to go in person and ask to speak to the DON or whoever is doing the hiring. When I had dropped...

  3. I have a dilemma..Ughhhhhhhh

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

    No the skills wont be posted when you get your test date. The skills are random, they can be anything. But from my experience, they didn't have any fitted sheets, blankets, flat sheets, towels and...

  4. ADN degree for Canada immigration

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to RegNurstobe2008's topic in International Nursing

    Just out of curiosity, with an ADN from the US qualify for someone to sit for the RPN (Practical Nurse Exam)? I know it's RPN in Ontario but for what it is for the other

  5. Finally got a job offer, at a great hospital!

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

    They're recommending you for hire? Have you started work yet? Did they specifically offer you a position and when they would be contacting you back? Was the person that recommended you for hire a...

  6. Working as a CNA while being in Nursing School

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I worked part time and went to LVN school full time. I couldn't afford not to work, so I had no choice. All my other classmates had husbands that could support them so they had it easier. I had to...

  7. US Nursing Schools Accepting International Students

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Alphu's topic in International Nursing

    If you're looking at California go to the CA BRN website and there it has a whole list of schools. You can contact each of of them via email to see if they accept international students. Most of the...

  8. LPN to RN online ( Need urgent help )

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Prado's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I contacted someone from CA awhile back about Excelsior and they told me at minimum 12 months they will allow you to endorse to California if you worked in another state as a RN. Unfortunately that's...

  9. WGU...anyone in this program??

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to lexiexela's topic in Western Governors University

    IMO, I think the price is very reasonable. I would like more information on the school but the counselors are hard to get a hold of. They do phone appointments etc. I'm curious how long it will...

  10. Has anyone heard of Western Governor's University?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to StillHoping's topic in Western Governors University

    Caliotter if you already have your LVN and all scienses and a BA, do you know about how long it would take to complete the degree? Next cohart starts in April, hmmmm, I'm taking stats this spring...

  11. Has anyone heard of Western Governor's University?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to StillHoping's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm interested in this program. Can anybody tell me about their experience in the program at the moment? How are your clinical rotations and are they on consecutive days or do they vary? Any...

  12. Paramedic To RN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to NursingStudent14's topic in California Nursing

    That's another way to go besides the LVN-RN program. I haven't heard of any schools that will let you do the Medic-RN program, but I know that California does let Paramedics become RN's. I'm just...

  13. What are my options?

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

    I would try to contact both boards to see what your options are. Since you failed out of the 3rd semester of RN school, you might want to try to reapply to other RN programs in your area as an...

  14. Final trimester, Hooray!!!!!!! ....BUT>>>>>

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to fwardlaw147's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Can I ask what state you're in? I ask because we had a very strange instructor who reminded me of Cruella Deville who tried to pull this crap on us. Our school indicated that in order for us to pass...

  15. LVN Job Search: How Do You Handle This Situation?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hey Everybody, I'm trying to find the best way to handle a situation that I'm currently in while searching for my first LVN job. I've been calling back places that I've applied to and of course none...

  16. LVN Job Search: How Do You Handle This Situation?

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

    Thank you all for feedback. The place that I was talking about was a LTC facility, so paging overhead for a phone call is very common. In the hospitals they usually don't do that unless it's for a...

  17. How can my niece apply for visa screen?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to pill2008's topic in International Nursing

    Thank you for sharing your experiences also because some of us didn't know that people were taking out loans to pay for fees charged by the agencies. 5-10% interest rate per month is about what we...

  18. Registering for CNA Exam in CA

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

    It sounds like you got your certificate. If it has your license number then it's your certificate. Mine isn't blue, mine is white with blue letters which means I have the old certificate. That's...

  19. LVN to RN Bridge with no Prior working Exp. as LVN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to futurenurse310's topic in LPN to RN

    IMO, you really should drop the partying as it will get in the way of your studies. I haven't done the transition course yet as it isn't being offered in the spring, but I will take it in the summer...

  20. PCT Position w/out a CNA

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to caligirl2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    From what I've read so far, in order to do the PCT program you must be a CNA already. Don't quote me, but that's what I've read. Maybe someone out there is a PCT and doesn't have their

  21. Registering for CNA Exam in CA

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

    That's very odd, what certificate did you receive? The one issued by the State of CA or the one issued by the testing place? I remember when I received mine it also took months to get. Either way...

  22. Hi, is there any nurse from Uzbekistan or CIS??

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to bekahmed82's topic in International Nursing

    Would that one year of education as a nurse be equivalent to the LVN/LPN in the

  23. LVN to RN Bridge with no Prior working Exp. as LVN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to futurenurse310's topic in LPN to RN

    Some schools require you to be a LVN for one year minimum. I think that's the stupidest thing because these same schools will admit a RN student with zero health care experience. Anyway there are...

  24. Does volunteering count as experience?

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

    Most hospitals wont let you volunteer doing patient care that's one of the reasons why they don't consider that as experience. I would keep applying anywhere and everywhere. Don't just apply at...

  25. I love being a CNA, but....

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

    Am I missing something? Since when is a CNA responsible for the dressing changes...Oh noooooo, that's the responsibility of the nurse. Even though you're going through nursing school and you're...
