  1. CNA renewal. How many hours of work is required for renewal?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to joshmas's topic in California Nursing

    I believe it's 48 hours of CEUs and 8 hours of paid work experience in order to renew your CNA. You might want to check out the California Department of Health for the exact numbers. What good is...

  2. International nursing students in the US

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration Advice

    With the economy the way it is, even domestic new grad RNs are having issues finding a job. With all the cutbacks hospitals are doing, there's no need to import when they (supposedly) don't have the...

  3. CVS-NY missing request

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to mistydawn's topic in Nurse Registration

    I'm unfamiliar with the process, but could you pay them a little extra to get it sent certified mail? That way it can be traced because a signature is required. The reason that they may haven't...

  5. Is there any foreign country RN can work under US license?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to babylove7477's topic in International Nursing

    Depending on which country your coming from the process can be a minimum of 5-7 year wait. I'm unsure if that would be considdered worthwhile. Right now in the US there are many unemployed new grad...

  6. Is there any foreign country RN can work under US license?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to babylove7477's topic in International Nursing

    Since you're getting an ADN you might run into some obstacles in working elsewhere. I hope the ADN accepted in your home country becaues if not, then you're stuck unless you can find a country that...

  7. NCLEX License Endorsement

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to pagto316's topic in Immigration Advice

    If you don't understand the NM BRN forms, then contact the NM BRN and ask them for help in filling out the forms. They are the best source for BRN questions. Sometimes they have a frequently asked...

  8. H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    That is wrong of the agencies asking them to pay their own way. What if they can't find positions? They would have wasted thousands of dollar for nothing and NO

  9. H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    I don't think she was directly speaking to you. It looks as if she's posting a reminder to everyone. It's good to be reminded sometimes because there's things that I didn't even know, and she just...

  10. H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    Isn't it the hospital that does the petitioning rather than the agency? Not many places are going with H1b anymore due to economy. There can be 4K visas left, but finding a place that isn't cutting...

  11. Hospital Sponsoships for International Nursing Students

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to SandeepSandhu's topic in Immigration Advice

    The economy is bad also in Miami-Dade, and Broward counties. My cousin is a cardiologist there in Miami and they too are laying off people at the hospital level. There's no need to sponsor foreign...

  12. visa retrogression

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to fiery_sunset's topic in International Nursing

    Why should the Filipino nurses be given priority to immigrate? There's nothing special that they have to offer that someone from India, Canada, Russia, or Australia can't offer. Everyone should be...

  13. Can i apply in another state?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Nation's topic in International Nursing

    If someone fails the NCLEX three times, IMO, they should take a refresher course. What's the reason why you're not passing? What areas are you lacking in? Has it been awhile since you finished...

  14. Stanford New Grad program

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to robind's topic in California Nursing

    In this economy they really can be picky on who they hire, I think that's what it boils down to. In my hospital we are also magnet status but have hired ADN as recently as last new grad program, but...

  15. Obtaining the California RN license by proving ITIN intead of SSN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Quark's topic in International Nursing

    Each state has the right to protect its residents and citizens. The BRN isn't obligated to provide a license to all those who are qualified whether the lack ss# or not. As a previous poster stated,...

  16. F-1 status RN to BSN program

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Rashmee KC's topic in International Nursing

    You don't have to start from scratch when you go for your BSN. You can go in as a transfer student as most of us did who didn't start off at the 4 year university to begin with. You would still need...

  17. Clarification: Reciprocity vs. Endorsement

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration Advice

    What is your immigration status at the moment? If you've already filed paperwork what's your PD? Some people have a PD sometime in 2005 and are still waiting for their green card. Vermont is a...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to fiery_sunset's topic in International Nursing

    If you have a minimum of a bachelors in a specialized field (your case BSN), and the job requires a minimum of a bachelors degree and you have several years of paid experience in that field then the...

  19. Question about CNA license number

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

    I hope you complained to the Red Cross because you finished that class awhile back. I though once you finished the course the school submitted the paperwork for you and they give you your exam...

  20. CNA being asked to go through patient med records

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to beck_79's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You can look at a patients chart if you're working with that patient specifically. But you can't pick up Joe Blows chart who isn't your patient and read it because you're

  21. CNA being asked to go through patient med records

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to beck_79's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    CNA's don't usually look at the chart. I'm mortified that you're having to check off something on diagnosis. As a CNA you're not trained to do that type of paperwork. You're job is bed baths, bed...

  22. do i need to get all these certs?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to xxjjccbb's topic in California Nursing

    RN's don't need to be IV certified. They have the opportunity to practice it while doing their clinical rotations. It's us LVN's that need to be IV Certified. So you don't need to worry about it...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Starbeck's topic in California Nursing

    Did you try applying at the naval hospital down there? I don't think it's your age, it's just the market at the moment. Too many appliants, foreign and domestic that are applying for these positions...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to marianDA9's topic in California Nursing

    I've heard of them not accepting LVN-RN students due to budget cuts, but they wont cancel it overall. There will be some schools that still accept LVN-RN students or you can do your LVN-BSN. I also...

  25. New Grad RN - Need Advice :)

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to srdl91's topic in California Nursing

    Yup, how they exploit new grad RN's in the Philippines doesn't happen here. You don't work for free like you do back home while the staff nurses get paid. You must have paid experience in order for...
