  11. Scope of Practice?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to ibmanda2000's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In California WE ARE ALLOWED TO SUCTION PATIENTS. Now nasal suctioning I'm unsure of, but if the RT can do it, I don't see why we can't do it. Usually what a RT can do WE CAN DO TOO. We are the...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to deadend226's topic in International Nursing

  15. Adive on any associate programs?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to LadyStundent's topic in California Nursing

    I will be honest, you can't go wrong with any ADN program there in San Diego. I've heard so many good things about a lot of them. Kaplan (formely Maric) might be a bit pricy but it's an excellent...

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