  1. Please use some discretion when posting as a foreign nurse

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to suzanne4's topic in California Nursing

    Obama is focusing on employing citizens and legal residents of this country first and he's made that very clear. He's also stated that he wants the citizens and legal residents to be given jobs and...

  2. Texas Nursing Jurisdiction Exam, anyone???

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to antonia_lois's topic in International Nursing

    Hmmmmm, they wanted you to endorse your license to Texas? What license? If you already have a license and no valid ss# there's no need to endorse to Texas because you already have a license in hand...

  3. Soon to be an RN and confused

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to free2z2008's topic in International Nursing

    I know in California they are investigating anyone who holds a H1b visa. It's due to the abuse of the visas as to why they're cracking down on that particular visa. I believe a lot of H1b visa...

  4. Soon to be an RN and confused

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to free2z2008's topic in International Nursing

    That's what I've heard too. I'm unsure if they hire US Residents as well, but I did hear about them hiring US citizens

  5. Texas Nursing Jurisdiction Exam, anyone???

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to antonia_lois's topic in International Nursing

    If you're working in a VA hospital then you can have a license from any state. It's a government facility. But that's so weird that they would use a H1b visa for a Veterans hospital. That's a first...

  6. New undocumented Nursing Grad...Please Help!

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to CoolNurses's topic in International Nursing

    She wont be able to find a job legally if she's here illegally. She needs a social security in order to work in the US and you can't obtain that unless you're a legal resident here in the US. How is...

  7. LVN School or Wait for RN?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to BeJuled's topic in California Nursing

    Yes, but remember that you should have a "status delivery successful" before you try it, as long as you have that then you're good to go. Your name wont show up on the BVNPT because you have to...

  8. Refresher programs Bay Area

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to dorotothea22's topic in California Nursing

    As I stated, if it's privately donated money, then that's not a problem. People who donate their own money shall have it used how they want it. Thanks for heads up about the program

  9. Does being a CNA equal 1 year experiance for lpn?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to missbee10's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I heard the samething from one of my instructors. Anybody that has a Bachelors and above are considered professionals. Anything below is a paraprofessional. That's what I was told, but in my...

  10. Refresher programs Bay Area

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to dorotothea22's topic in California Nursing

    I've heard of some schools cutting back on the refresher courses because there isn't any money in the budget for them. If you're looking to refresh your clinical skills then I suggest try to gain...

  11. Texas Nursing Jurisdiction Exam, anyone???

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to antonia_lois's topic in International Nursing

    I thought the H1b visa had to be for a specific hospital. If you don't know where you're working, then chances are you don't have a direct employer. If you don't have a direct employer then how can...

  12. Does being a CNA equal 1 year experiance for lpn?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to missbee10's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In the nursing home setting it's harder for a nurse to assist the CNA's than it is in the hospitals. But I do have to agree that in both settings there are both LVN/LPN and RNs who wont lift a finger...

  13. Is that hard a foreign educated RN without experience(new graduate) find a job in US?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Inezita's topic in International Nursing

    Licenciado em emfermagem, I would translate as Licensed Nurse. Wow, a Masters in 5 years, some bachelor courses here in the USA take about 5 years to get. Some BSN programs here take about 5 years....

  14. I'm a student finishing my nursing pre-reqs--CNA program worth it?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to natd9's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would always recommend a nursing student to take the CNA course, it will give you an indication if nursing really is for you. Some nursing students leave nursing school because they found out it...

  15. Is that hard a foreign educated RN without experience(new graduate) find a job in US?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Inezita's topic in International Nursing

  16. Is that hard a foreign educated RN without experience(new graduate) find a job in US?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Inezita's topic in International Nursing

    Why would you want to do CNA or PCA? You're already a RN in Portugal. If you have the education, then you should do everything possible to use it. Don't limit yourself to a CNA or PCA, don't get me...

  17. Is that hard a foreign educated RN without experience(new graduate) find a job in US?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Inezita's topic in International Nursing

    US educated new grad RN's are having problems finding a job. Get in contact with the Connecticut Board of Registered Nursing and see what you have to do in order to get licensed in that state. Boa...

  18. Special relationships at work

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

    I've learned never to date someone you work with because in the end it just doesn't work. Find someone else in a totally different field, that's much better, although that can lead to drama too, I...

  19. Refresher programs Bay Area

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to dorotothea22's topic in California Nursing

    With all the cuts at the community college and university level, they shouldn't be wasting the money on foreign educated nurses. No offense, but some instructors are being let go and classes are being...

  20. California License Verification for Endorsement

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to stylishgurl's topic in California Nursing

    They are probably slow right now. Remember the BRN in California is closed some Fridays of the month. So it's probably there, just they haven't gotten to it

  21. how do you contact the texas state board of nursing?????? phonelines always busy!!!!

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to BennyBear's topic in International Nursing

    Never email the webmaster, they have nothing to do with the board other than maintaining the site in working condition. Try faxing, and if not, then try a certified letter. Good

  22. Special relationships at work

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

  24. What the heck is the matter with my Cnas?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to JavaMama98's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I guess when speaking with patients we shall say "I will get the nurses" vs "I will get your nurse" or "I will get the CNA" vs "I will get your CNA" In definitions terms it does mean ownership, but...

  25. What the heck is the matter with my Cnas?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to JavaMama98's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I guess I should start referring "my coworkers" as "the people I work with" That sounds a bit better than my "my mother" as "the woman that bore me". The whole my thingy doesn't bother me one bit,...
