  4. So Darn Frustrated

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to guest27716's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know how the job market is for LVN's in the Sacramento area. Do a search for LVN's and see how many LVN new grad positions are out there. Most likely there wont be any in the hospitals but...

  6. So Darn Frustrated

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to guest27716's topic in California Nursing

  7. Is There Any Lvn/lpn Schools In Philippines?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to tugdizpnoy's topic in International Nursing

    It doesn't matter if you're a US Citizen or not, the problem lies with the program itself. It's not accepted in the Philippines and they can't get licensed there as a LVN. It's a money making scheme...

  8. Im living in the Lancaster CA area and I need a job as an LVN!!!!!

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to dana1217's topic in California Nursing

    Hospitals out here usually don't hire LVN's and Keiser in the Bay Area is one of them. I'm unsure about other areas in California, I heard that Fresno still hires LVN's in the hospital, but that was...

  11. Im living in the Lancaster CA area and I need a job as an LVN!!!!!

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to dana1217's topic in California Nursing

    You might have to broaden your milage if you really need to find a job. The Antelope Valley isn't really populated and you might be limited. I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time finding a...

  12. NO JOB

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to aleena23's topic in California Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to moneyline702's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

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

  18. Most Expensive Nursing School in the Philippines?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to jobe1903's topic in Philippines

    That is a very scary figure only .04% of a graduating class passing the board? Is that first time around? If all 500 took the boards and only 20 passed first time around, then what does that say...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to latebloomer74's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  22. I just heard they will remove all LVN/LPN?

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

    I've been hearing this for a long time. LVN/LPN have been removed from the hospital setting which is a shame because some of them can out perform some of the RN's. The thing is that the LVN/LPN lack...
