What about the NCLEX? How can you already start working?

Many states issue some type of temporary permit to practice so that you can start working in that graduate nurse period between graduation & when you pass NCLEX and are working as an RN or LPN.

To the OP -----> Congrats & good luck! :balloons:

I wish they did that around here (ohio-Cleveland Area). The hospital I work at doesn't even give graduate pay. I'll be working for my same clinical tech wage until I pass the NCLEX. Hmph! LOL... but congrats on your new job. Can't wait to be in your shoes :)

We can work as a RNA-Registered Nurse Applicant for 90 days after we graduate, and we have to pass the nclex in those 90 days. same pay as RN. This hospital also requires you to take the Kaplan nclex review, and pays for it. and pays you salary to be there to take it. Thats' built into orientation time. NOw i have no idea if the RNA thing is state-wide, or just this hospital system.
