  1. FL LPN 2 CA LVN ?'S

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to KLaRoche's topic in California Nursing

    If you have experience as a LVN in Florida your chances of finding a job are better than those new graduates who don't have any. What can you do? You're moving with your husband whose job transfered...

  2. Feedback on Bay Area hospitals?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to nursecass's topic in California Nursing

    So you would be coming off 680 as the traffic isn't as bad as you're more inland than in the bay area. But it's in the outskirts of the Bay Area. You may want to stay in that area and probably the...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to urfoxyrn's topic in California Nursing

    Since you've already taken and passed the NCLEX-RN you're considered a RN with a Bachelors degree. If you had a MSN then you're a RN with a MSN. You can take the NCLEX-RN as a ADN, BSN, or MSN...

  5. The Roll of a LVN in California Hospitals.

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Weebee's topic in California Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to NurseVN's topic in California Nursing

  8. Feedback on Bay Area hospitals?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to nursecass's topic in California Nursing

  9. The Roll of a LVN in California Hospitals.

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Weebee's topic in California Nursing

    It all goes back to cost effectiveness. Having LVNs and CNAs in the hospital setting isn't cost effective so therefore most go primary care. It's cheaper to have all RNs doing primary care with only...

  11. Roles/responsibilities of LVNs???

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Oranges3420's topic in California Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to MrNurseRN's topic in California Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to cpacia124's topic in LPN to RN
