    avi8tor69 replied to SoCalNurse88's topic in Nurse Registration

    So SocalNurse88 got her deficiency courses fixed yet she/he won't reveal the name of the school so others can benefit. And now all of a sudden the school ain't taking any more students. Why bother...

    avi8tor69 replied to APUser's topic in International Nursing

    Studying nursing in the Philippines is a lot more expensive. Tuition, living expenses, air fare etc. I graduated in '97 and i don't remember paying more than 4 gran at my local community college here...

  5. $8.25 an hour...*** is this normal?

    avi8tor69 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Your hospital allows CNA to start IVs, EKG, Insert Foleys etc?

  6. $8.25 an hour...*** is this normal?

    avi8tor69 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Why dont you re read your post. You are the one who insinuated that since one can learn a skill, its good enough for you if your around to watch them perform the skill. That was the gist of your...

  7. $8.25 an hour...*** is this normal?

    avi8tor69 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As a nurse you delegate to a CNA, work that is within the scope of what a CNA is legally allowed to do and what the facility allows them to do. Anyone can insert a Foley. Patients do that at home etc....

  8. $8.25 an hour...*** is this normal?

    avi8tor69 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's great your learning nursing stuff but again your scope as a CNA is limited. And knowing your limits is essential in providing safe and competent care. It's not just knowing how to do it but the...

  9. $8.25 an hour...*** is this normal?

    avi8tor69 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What you said was awesome. However, in reality, in nursing school, while ADLs are important and necessary, there are many facets of nursing that you will face. Now knowing ADLs will probably help you...

  10. lvn to rn

    avi8tor69 replied to rtorres40's topic in LPN to RN

    You can start the RN program right after you graduate. No experience necessary. The major obstacle is getting a spot in the RN program as an advance placement student. In an ADN program you either get...

  11. CNA To Medical Assistant?

    avi8tor69 replied to Itsnicole'cna/pct''s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Waste of time and money. If you really want to prepare for Nursing school, go to your local CC that has an accredited Nursing program and go to the college bookstore or Amazon (take pics of the ISBN...

  12. $8.25 an hour...*** is this normal?

    avi8tor69 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Again no disrespect to CNAs because I think they are great. But honestly, how will becoming a CNA help. A CNA's scope of work is limited. Its ADL's and blood

  13. $8.25 an hour...*** is this normal?

    avi8tor69 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My mom in law retired as a CNA a few years back. She was forced to retire because she was making $19 something an hour and they had a line of happy $8.25 an hour applicants. BTW you don't really need...

  14. Complying with CA BON deficient courses

    avi8tor69 replied to RhanSantiago84's topic in Nurse Registration

    Sure. Have you worked there for a year at least or did you just see one paycheck. Big difference. I have yet to meet anyone flashing their W2s around. FYI I used to work NorCal. Like I said HOT

  15. Complying with CA BON deficient courses

    avi8tor69 replied to RhanSantiago84's topic in Nurse Registration

    Anyone who tells you they will make over $100k per year as starting nurses is pulling your leg, have not actually worked for a year to really see how the pay/hour cycle goes, or they are just plain...

  17. When will I receive my Nclex Eligibility in California

    avi8tor69 replied to PinayLaLa21's topic in Nurse Registration

    Congrats on your LVN license. If you go thru the community college route or 2 year ADN program, the LVN license will save you the a semester. You will still have 1.5 years to go. Good

  18. Considering nursing in career change

    avi8tor69 replied to care101's topic in Philippines

    I do not buy this "its more expensive" here in California to study nursing. That is just baloney. My total cost for my nursing degree at my local community college was about $3000 tuition, books,...

  19. Who is to blame for the CA BON mess and a solution?

    avi8tor69 replied to geegeebaby82's topic in Nurse Registration

    No one misled foreign students. If you are applying for something, then take the time to research the requirements. Those requirements have been in the books for a long time. Your comment about US...

  20. Complying with CA BON deficient courses

    avi8tor69 replied to RhanSantiago84's topic in Nurse Registration

    The CSU Fresno, if CA BON approves of it, will probably be the only option for foreign graduates with deficiencies. No other accredited school will accept students for 1 or 2 classes. You need to come...
