  1. Quickest processing time: Illinois, Vermont or California

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Daigorot's topic in International Nursing

    Read the stickies that Suzanne has posted regarding foreign educated nurses wishing to work in the US. Also, California isn't recommended for initial licensure unless you already hold a visa or valid...

  2. Endorsment from CA to TX

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to erezsha77's topic in International Nursing

    Another thing regarding the English exams, it's very basic English that you're having to present. It's not geared towards medical terminology or anything like that. IMO, all it shows is that you're...

  3. Endorsment from CA to TX

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to erezsha77's topic in International Nursing

    Each state has their own set of rules and regulations for licensure. Some even require experience before they allow you to sit for the exam. Anyway, even if you get a RN license in another state,...

  4. Scared to work as a RN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to sinawahi's topic in International Nursing

    Silverdragon, I agree with you. I just find it hard to believe, I mean something so simple is done in one area, but not done in another. For that reason, I believe that all foreign educated nurses...

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

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

    As long as you have your license, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be allowed to apply for hospital positions. Unless you answered No to the above questions. You're set to go. As I said,...

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

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

    1. Do you have a RN license? Or did you just pass the exam? Since you stated that you're an NCLEX passer, I'm assuming that you're a foreign nurse. 2. If you don't have your RN license, do you...

  7. Scared to work as a RN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to sinawahi's topic in International Nursing

    Full body assessments are easy. I'm shocked that nurses don't do that in other countries. I've heard that also in the Philippines, they don't do assessments either. Which is a BIG BULK of nursing....

  8. How much do CNA's make these days and is the pay worth the workload?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Lala27poodles's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The RN I worked with recently had to clean up the sputum because I was in the restroom. She didn't leave it for me, she cleaned it up. We both hate it, and we both were gagging, but it's part of a...

  9. Visa Bulletin Oct 09

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Silverdragon102's topic in International Nursing

    ''Her work said she can work as little or as much OT (up to 60 hours), as she wants. Thats almost like working for yourself, since you can dictate what days you want to work. " Huh? Since when can...

  10. Visa Bulletin Oct 09

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Silverdragon102's topic in International Nursing

    I'm sorry but I have to agree with Medsurg! I'm also having trouble digesting what redranger wrote. A pay increase of 12%? in this economy. Everywhere is suffering and hospitals are cutting back...

  11. Bashed for pursuing lpn route

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to soladylike1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In a SNF, usually you don't have RT's so therefore it's the nurses job to do it. In the hospital, there is the RT to do the breathing treatments and the suctioning. But sometimes if the RT isn't...

  12. Visa Bulletin Oct 09

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Silverdragon102's topic in International Nursing

    So basically you're stuck. If you're done with graduate school, then you might as well go home and gain some more experience there. You have already 2 years under your belt which is great considering...

  13. Visa Bulletin Oct 09

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Silverdragon102's topic in International Nursing

    No retrogression is far from over. As long as there are more foreigners applying for visas that exceed the availability, then retrogression will be in place. If you haven't started the application,...

  14. H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    Must the experience in the field be current? Or can there be a time lapse? What I would like to know is where is everyone getting this information about obtaining a H1b visa when they don't qualify...

  15. Help Pls...ca Nclex Passer Without Ssn

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to bebe_ko's topic in Immigration Advice

    No that's not enough to get a permanent license because it's NOT a ss#. What the application states is to provide a ss# NOT an ITIN. What you're wanting to do is to falsify information on your...

  16. Help Pls...ca Nclex Passer Without Ssn

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to bebe_ko's topic in Immigration Advice

    Some states will issue a license with out a ss#, but they wont renew it with out one

  17. Help Pls...ca Nclex Passer Without Ssn

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to bebe_ko's topic in Immigration Advice

    What they did was falsify their ss# because they didn't have one. Is it something that I recommend one doing? NO WAY, what if you get caught. What do you think will happen? Either way you can't work...

  18. Visa Bulletin Oct 09

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Silverdragon102's topic in International Nursing

    I agree with Medsurg, new grads should be limited on the OT they work for the first year of employment. It's very unsafe and I've seen it happen. It's sad that their orientation is only about a month...

  19. LPN school: wasted a year of my life

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

    Keep looking, I'm still applying for jobs and have had my license in my hands over a month now. Just keep looking. I'm not giving up, and neither should

  20. How much do CNA's make these days and is the pay worth the workload?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Lala27poodles's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My advise to those who really want to work in the hospital is TO KEEP APPLYING! It's not going to hurt you, yes it does get frustrating because I've been there, and done that. But I applied non-stop...

  21. LVN School or Wait for RN?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to BeJuled's topic in California Nursing

    Well California was running a bit quick with my results because I heard they can take anywhere between 4-6

  22. OPT to H1B in NYC? lawyers?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to luckyruby's topic in International Nursing

    I thought for a H1b visa you needed 3 years experience. Which the poster obviously doesn't have. There's no short cuts to a visa here unless you come under a K1 visa. Which means you'd have to...

  24. Application for Exam at California Board of Nursing - Help!

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to msaacrn's topic in Immigration Advice
