  1. Just Passed My State Exam... What is my License #?

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

    You don't get your number until you receive your certificate in the mail. At least that's how it's done in California. I still have an active CNA license and all I received from the testing center...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Shadian725's topic in International Nursing

    I know they use those forms for statistics. Also, you don't have to answer any of those questions and just leave it blank. I've done it before, but I really don't mind answering it anyway. I've...

  6. CNA or LPN?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Parker0708's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    As the above posters have mentioned I can't say enough about also doing your CNA first. It helped me tremendously in LVN school, as the whole 1st semester was all CNA work anyway. It will get your...

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

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to makua girl's topic in California Nursing

  16. LVN School or Wait for RN?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to BeJuled's topic in California Nursing

    It doesn't make any sense to me either. Also, how can you say that you learned a lot more hands on during your LVN but in the RN it's more of assessment and care plans. I for one, am glad that I...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to pagandeva2000's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to chellelynn25's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
