I'm just trying to figure out when a nursing student can begin working as a nurse w/ nurse's pay. I'm sure this is different in different areas, but it'd still be nice to have a general idea.
I do my preceptorship in the fall (grad in Nov...yay!!! )
So you think maybe I could work as a nurse at the same time of doing my preceptorship? The reason I'm really concerned about this is due to my housing situation. I've lived on campus all through nursing school and now that graduation is coming up, I need to find a place to live! The problem is that I have not had the chance to save any money up for when that time comes b/c of the chaos that goes along w/ nursing school... as I'm SURE most of you can relate.
And what about after you graduate, but before you take the NCLEX? Anyone know if you can get nurse pay and all that during that time?
