  1. I'm done with all the questions...now what?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to katrene555's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My friend used both Saunders and Lippencott. She failed the NCLEX the first time using Saunders. Personally, I didn't like Saunders because I felt the questions were too easy. I scored between...

  2. Anyone have a free link to pn questions

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to pkt00's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Been there and done that. Financially I didn't but anything because my nursing school provided the Saunders book. Had they not done that I would have had to borrow money to purchase them. When you...

  3. CNA in Labor and Delivery?

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

    You can be a surg tech certified and work as an OB Tech. All hospitals that I have encountered use OB Techs in L & D because they are cheaper to use than the RN/LVN. RN/LVN can scrub too. I'm...

  4. CNA in Labor and Delivery?

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

    There really isn't a need for CNAS in L & D. There is a need for them in postpartum but I haven't seen them in many postpartum units. If you want to work as an OB Tech then go for the surgical...

  5. "Near passing standard" results straight through?!?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to GEfresno07's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My friend failed using Saunders. Quite frankly I used it myself and found it to be useless. I was lucky and passed it the 1st time but would not recommend it. My friend used Lippencott after using...

  6. 2nd time re-applying to test for nclex-rn in california question

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to ibelieve2011's topic in International Nursing

    Right now there is nothing you can do until the evaluator comes back from vacation. Try to study for the NCLEX. You have come this far so don't give up. Try to focus on your areas of weakness....

  7. Anyone have a free link to pn questions

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to pkt00's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't know such links existed. Why don't you invest in the books on amazon.com? I find myself still referring back even though it's been over two years for me. Good

  8. CNA in Labor and Delivery?

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

    In the hospital I used to work at had CNAs in the post partum floor but never on labor and delivery. They had the OB Tech on the labor floor and the CNAs were on post partum. But not all hospitals...

  9. Violated NCLEX rules

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to virtouso's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's pretty obvious regarding the cell phones usage during exams. It's also common sence not to use it during an exam even though you're taking a break. I can certainly see how it slipped your mind...

  10. My CPNE Journal~St Mary's 11/4/2011

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to LoopsRN2's topic in Excelsior College

    Reading your post made me feel like I was with you. Since you have nursing experience already I'm sure that played a big part, and to add that you studied your butt off.

  11. CA BRN New Requirements For NCLEX RN international students

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to brooklyn03's topic in Nurse Registration

    It looks like the BRN is finally getting the picture. Slowly but surely the fail rates of international students will weigh heavily on what will happen in the future with applicants. The BRN is dead...

  12. Looking for sponsorship whilst on L2 in the USA

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to GAYA3's topic in International Nursing

    Most of the areas of CA aren't looking to sponsor anybody because they have plenty of qualified permanent residents/citizens to choose from. So it all depends on which areas you're looking at....

  13. Sorry so long, but I need some support, advice...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to bgoodman's topic in California Nursing

    You changed your childrens diapers for free. Why is it a big deal to change adult diapers and get paid for it? I'm a LVN and I was lucky that I have a job in a hospital. But I also work for a LTC...

  14. Does it matter if you graduated from an unaccredited nursing program if you get a BSN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to m2736185's topic in Online Distance Learning

    They never said they would license Excelsior graduates after the cut off . What they did say is that they will look at all nursing education for licensure. They brought up the Excelsior situation...

  16. Does it matter if you graduated from an unaccredited nursing program if you get a BSN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to m2736185's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I spoke to someone from the BRN in CA and was told that they look at all education when applying for initial licensure/endorsement. I was told that as a BIG

  17. Endorsed LPN but IV Cert not on License

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to newtress's topic in California Nursing

    Take the IV Cert class that meets CA requirement. What an IV Cert LVN can do in CA may not be what one can do in Texas, Nevada, New York

  19. Does it matter if you graduated from an unaccredited nursing program if you get a BSN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to m2736185's topic in Online Distance Learning

    CCNE accredits BSN schools and it's a well respected accrediting agency. NLN is also highly respected but I think they accredit ADN/ASN programs. I read this in a nursing magazine about a year ago....

  20. International Nursing Student with OPT

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Missgenny0210's topic in International Nursing

    New grads don't qualify for a H1b visa and there are plenty of new grad RNs from the US looking for work. It's not economical to waste money on sponsorship when they can pick from the surplus of...

  21. HELP: NCLEX-RN Application questions

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to elysanzrn's topic in Nurse Registration

    No matter where you apply they will need all transcripts from all schools attended. If you aren't authorized to work in the US the best thing to do is to gain experience where you are at now because...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Missgenny0210's topic in International Nursing

    But the visa requires a specialty in an occupation. For nurses the specialty wound be something like a clinical nurse specialist, FNP, critical care nurse, etc and all require special certification...

  24. Excelsior grads enrolled in BSN programs in states that dont accept Excelsior

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to luvluv's topic in Excelsior College

    From what the BRN in CA has stated is that they don't evaluate the school but rather the applicants nursing education. So to me that would mean ALL nursing education hence why they request...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to NurseCubanitaRN2b's topic in Excelsior College
