  5. LPN Student, Cried and cried...

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

    I wouldn't put too much into that exam. This is something new to you and you haven't taught how to tackle a question yet using critical thinking skills. You have to prioritize. Think ABC's 1....

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Homebound20's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  7. Preparing for RN grad jobs

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Tristar's topic in California Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to caligirl2's topic in California Nursing

    I've done my clinicals with some Gav students during the LVN rotation. IMO, I think their instructors were awesome. I'm going to apply to the LVN-RN program at both Evergreen and Gav along with some...

  9. Nursing after SNF RN position

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to SirRN's topic in California Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to piscesmama's topic in California Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in California Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to kdda_24's topic in International Nursing

  15. Gavilan College in Gilroy

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to caligirl2's topic in California Nursing

    I heard that they take half via GPA and half lottery. So people will have a chance to get in. I just found that out by a friend who is attending Gav right

  16. Is there any hope for nurses in the future? Or is it all just going to get worse?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to BrittanyLeigh's topic in California Nursing

    You might also want to try taking the CNA course because you will experience first hand if nursing is the career choice you want to make. You have plenty of time to take the course and also...

  18. NCLEX CALI result

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to pinkcolor's topic in International Nursing

    You've passed your NCLEX-RN but that doesn't make you a US RN until you actually have your license number. You can't practice as a RN until you have your license. Passing the exam is one big step,...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to bryanb_2003ph's topic in International Nursing

    If I hear of such locations I too will post. But so far, I haven't heard anything. But I'm speculating it's somewhere around the mid-west where most people don't wish to live, or in areas where they...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to KarolJeanFaltado's topic in International Nursing

    You're not a RN in California if you don't have your California license. All you did was pass the NCLEX-RN, that doesn't mean you have a license. What you need to do is to apply for a visa. Since...

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

  22. I really do not like going to work as a CNA everyday...what do I do?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Duice88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    CNA's are overworked and so underpaid. CNA's do everyone elses job on top of their own. I hate being a CNA especially now since I'm a LVN and can't find a job. I'm a nurse but yet I'm paid as a CNA...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Christine2009's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I can barely do basic math, and if I can pass the math exam, anybody can pass it. 75% is better than my program. We needed to pass it with 100% period plain and simple. We had to get 100% in order...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Ling07's topic in LPN, LVN Students
