  1. 1st time to renew license help!

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to TinkerBelle_81's topic in California Nursing

    I would bombard them with emails. Sometimes emails get lost in the shuffle. Calling them is basically useless since they never seem to be available. From reading the website and I'm hoping someone...

  2. Why do so many nurses from the Philippines come to Canada/USA?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to lilaclover's topic in Philippines

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to bing_mikaela's topic in International Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to jo_stan2007's topic in International Nursing

    If it is guaranteed that CA will reactivate your file "if" you will eventually provide them with a ss# then that would probably be financially beneficial to you. Everything is so rediculously...

  5. jobs & no jobs

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to navyguyhm3's topic in California Nursing

  8. Anyone recently taken the NCLEX-PN?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to L&DForMe's topic in California Nursing

  13. Is Southern California New Grad RN Friendly?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to fireline's topic in California Nursing

    That is a big liability if you work as a CNA and have a RN license. Also I don't think that most emplyers would want to hire you because you're over qualified for the position. Keep searching for...
