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

    In our hospital all MRSA (past and present) have to be isolated no matter what. I wouldn't beat yourself up over it. Hey, you're human, and we all have made some sort of boo boo in our career in...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to sweetlady10's topic in International Nursing

    Call your BVN and ask them that question. You don't have to give your name so they don't know it's you or your situation. Well what you're saying doesn't make any sense to me. I know what you're...

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

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to sweetlady10's topic in International Nursing

  8. H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration Advice

  9. Clarification on the right type of volunteer work?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to DoveBunni's topic in California Nursing

  12. CNA trainees peforming peri-care in class on each other? Is this true?

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

    I think we had to eat mechanically soft food, puree, & thickened liquids to see how it felt. We by no means did any pericare on each other. We did them on the dummies and then on the patients...

  13. Should I be a CNA -- I'm 44yrs old!!! Is it too late for me?

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

    I started out as a CNA and it was the most valuable experience that I could have ever had before entering the LVN program. It gave me the insides about what to expect in health care. I don't regret...

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

  20. LVN School or Wait for RN?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to BeJuled's topic in California Nursing

    You're very welcome. I know the wait for California residents is just rediculously BRUTAL! That's why I shared the whole pearsonvue trick with you. I also shared it with my classmates and it all...

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