  1. Questions about working PRN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    When I worked PRN as a CNA, I would put myself on as if I was full time and let them call me off when needed. This way I was always counting on working that shift unless I was called off. That made...

  2. Need help with this question about nursing license

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Ms.jackson12's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    They may not even review your paperwork until the case has been closed and everything is taken care of. Being that the case is pending, isn't a good thing because it's most likely something that...

  3. F-1 status RN to BSN program

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Rashmee KC's topic in International Nursing

    Where did you get the idea that you have to redo all your clinicals? When you go from RN-BSN you will have a clinical rotation but not from scratch. Check with the school nursing counselor and...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to shigella88's topic in International Nursing

    Good luck finding an employer as many domestic new grad RN's are having a hard time finding work. Your best bet is to either gain experience at home or find another country as you'll be waiting many...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to stsinner's topic in International Nursing

  7. LVN......applying for CNA jobs

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

    I'm in the same position, except I was working as a CNA while in school. I know several RN's who are working as LVN's (and one of them a CNA) because nobody is hiring at the moment. I'm working as a...

  8. FIRED

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to HollieLPN09's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Are you under a union? If you are then go straight to them. In this day in age where it's hard to find a job, I would also speak to an attorney for wrongful termination. File a grievance against your...

  9. NO JOB

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to aleena23's topic in California Nursing

    Clinical Instructors and volunteering don't count as experience because you've never worked as a floor nurse. It's really scary that they allow fresh new RN Clinical Instructors in the Philippines...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to maiday's topic in California Nursing

    When you don't have a set schedule it's called PRN or per diem. They do hire CNA's who work per diem. That's the best way to get your foot in the door because you're a direct employer of that...

  12. hospitals in california who offers direct hiring for foreign nurses

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Krizburn's topic in California Nursing

    I wouldn't go as far to say that hospitals are using the economy as a scapegoat. The economy does have a direct impact on hospitals because people aren't having procedures that they need because of...

  13. I NEED the impossible in an online school !!

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Cindy1ou's topic in Online Distance Learning

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to JoshHettrick's topic in Online Distance Learning

  15. US citizen studying in the Philippines

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to soleechiu's topic in International Nursing

  16. do i need to get all these certs?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to xxjjccbb's topic in California Nursing

    Congratulations to both of you. You must have your basic BLS before you apply for a new grad position. ACLS is also another way to go because that's more advanced. LVN's need to be IV Certified, but...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to abhi4u's topic in International Nursing

    But wouldn't you be under a F1 visa? So how can you work under your previous H1 when you're considered under F1 since you're studying nursing. Also there are some restrictions under the F1

  20. Stanford New Grad program

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to robind's topic in California Nursing

    I wouldn't say that BSN, MSN are all cream of the crops. There are some ADN graduates who can run circles around the BSN and MSN graduates. ADN, BSN, and MSN all passed the same NCLEX the only...

  21. Something good about Desert Regional in Palm Springs?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to zacarias's topic in California Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Waitingformyresults's topic in California Nursing

    Only 2 years as a RN and already you're asking to do the Charge Nurse Orientation. There's a lot to learn in nursing as you're still considered a newbie, but obviously they see some qualities in you...

  23. Stanford New Grad program

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to robind's topic in California Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to legobeast88's topic in International Nursing

  25. Filipina Nurse faces jail time and whipping by religious police

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Hoss's topic in International Nursing

    That's why it's a MUST that you learn the language and culture before you move to another country period. If you break their law then that's on you. Just as if someone were to go to the Philippines,...
