  1. ~What Pet Peeves Do You Have Regarding CNA's~

    NurseCubanitaRN2b posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was reading a thread titled https://allnurses.com/cna-nursing-assistant/why-dont-nurses-408752.html "Why don't nurses listen to CNA;s" on the CNA discussion forum which prompted me to want to ask...

  2. Is there a difference between bed rails and side rails?

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

    Actually it's not a dumb question, but I never thought of it as being anything different. It's actually the samething. Both are considered restraints. Sometimes if you have the four side/bed rails...

  3. have you ever had a pt that you cant tolerate!???

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you have it organized right it can work. I've worked in rehab sub acute units that had LTC on the other side, and the patient ratios were different than the sub acute unit. But I agree with the...

  4. Hello from Croatia

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Liddd's topic in International Nursing

    I was just going to ask Lidd a similar question LOL. What type of nurses do you have in Croatia? For example here in the US we have LVN/LPN (Licensed Vocational Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse)...

  5. Scared to work as a RN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to sinawahi's topic in International Nursing

    Gilly how did you transition from a 3rd world country nursing (I hope that's the right term) to nursing in the US where you have the high tech equipment? How well would you say that you adjusted to...

  6. have you ever had a pt that you cant tolerate!???

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    IMO, I think that the residents on the LTC facilities need more attention from their nurses than they are getting. I feel that they're being neglected, and it's not on purpose either on the nurses...

  7. nursing agency contract

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to hime17's topic in International Nursing

    So Hime? You got married so you could get a work permit? Did you get here on a K1 visa? Usually when you get married and come on one of those visas, they will investigate you for several years to...

  8. ~What Pet Peeves Do You Have Regarding CNA's~

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

    I guess I should make myself clearer when I say that they delegate things to the CNA that they can do themselves. I'm sorry but I see it pointless for a nurse to go spend 30 minutes hunting a CNA...

  9. Need help: 2008 Graduate & 2009 NCLEX-RN Passer

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to jenova-s_angel's topic in California Nursing

    As long as you don't find new grad postings in the hospital setting then start with nursing homes. You have your RN license and that's desirable especially in LTC with sub acute units. Don't worry...

  10. have you ever had a pt that you cant tolerate!???

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've had that happen, boy would I wish they were gone, but to another facility, never death. Even though they may have been horrible as a patient and had some horrible family members, I'd still never...

  11. ~What Pet Peeves Do You Have Regarding CNA's~

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

    Not that I don't agree with you, but I don't think you have enough time in the day to be lazy. How can you not pass out your meds to your patients and get away with it? Charting, how can you bypass...

  12. Need help: 2008 Graduate & 2009 NCLEX-RN Passer

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to jenova-s_angel's topic in California Nursing

    You might have to broaden your horizons and look into nursing homes. Did you try nursing homes yet? I know it's hard to find a job right now, but apply everywhere and anywhere. Good

  13. Cuban nurses

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Ximena2008's topic in International Nursing

    Ahhhhh how I miss Miami. Anyway, regarding the transcripts, did the school provide them to you before you left Cuba? I ask because it's hard to get back to Cuba, my mom hasn't been back since before...

  14. situation: need hospital experience and willing to spend

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to mrmiyagi's topic in Philippines

    New Mexico, and Vermont are the only ones who I know will issue a license with out a ss#. I thought I heard someone say that Connecticut does too, but you will have to check that one out because I'm...

  15. Cuban nurses

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Ximena2008's topic in International Nursing

    I'm sorry but if you're a permanent resident of Canada, the Wet/Dry Foot Act doesn't apply. It's a political thing. Anyway, where is he studying for his PhD? Would you qualify for a TN visa since...

  16. NM License Renewal, anyone?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to hyveth's topic in Immigration Advice

    Keep contacting them. NM is the only one who can answer your question regarding the certificates. I wouldn't risk it because at anytime, they can ask you to provide them with the certificates...

  17. AN RN for 13 Years... ANY Jobs?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to 911RMRN's topic in California Nursing

    Oh you're that far north in the East Bay. The furthest south I'd go would probably be Hayward, which you will find St. Rose Hospital. You can also try Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley. Those are...

  18. Cuban nurses

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Ximena2008's topic in International Nursing

    Why did you go to Canada in the first place? Did you know that once you set foot on land on US soil you can

  19. Cuban nurses

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Ximena2008's topic in International Nursing

    Wow, there are others here just like me. Well you're for real. I'm Cuban by culture, but my mom was born and raised there. My dad was born there and came her very

  20. Need help: 2008 Graduate & 2009 NCLEX-RN Passer

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to jenova-s_angel's topic in California Nursing

    Well I'm happy that you got your RN license, there's nothing stopping you from applying for any hospital positions. I know of people who've never done any type of hospital other than their clinical...

  21. Visa Bulletin Oct 09

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Silverdragon102's topic in International Nursing

    Foreign nurses are also in the dark regarding how difficult it really is to get a visa to come to the States. They think it's easy to get the tourist visa and adjust their status to green card from...

  22. Does CNA training prepare you for nursing school?

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

    It will help you with your first semester in nursing school since it's all basic care that you're doing. It also exposes you to the real world of nursing. Sure you wont be doing any procedures as a...

  23. situation: need hospital experience and willing to spend

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to mrmiyagi's topic in Philippines

    Also, the person can't endorse, since there's no license to endorse. All the poster would be doing is forwarding the results to another state that doesn't require a ss#. Which BTW, doesn't mean that...

  24. Question about being in OPT to appear NCLEX-PN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to sweetlady10's topic in International Nursing

    Oh lord, you're in a bind. Yes, most schools wont allow you to apply for the RN program unless you have your LVN license. What you might want to do is to contact Texas and present them with what you...

  25. Visa Bulletin Oct 09

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Silverdragon102's topic in International Nursing

    From what I heard from a RN II is that in order for you to jump from RN I to RN II, you need 2000 hrs. I don't know if that's across the board for all states or not. So again, I'm not convinced by...
