Some states issue a temp license. Other states require NCLEX.

Home care is not a place for new grads unless you have a very detailed orientation. The reason being you are on your own and depend on your assessment skills ( as a new grad you will not have the same skills as a seasoned RN).

Ask your school or call the BON for an answer.

I can't imagine a home care agency over seeing a new grad without a license, big risk for the agency.

Absolutely. When I was a new grad I was smart enough to realize that I did not have the clinical judgment and skills needed to work without supervision in a home health care setting. Can't imagine why any new nurse would think they do.

We as new grads don't have the clinical judgment and skills, that's another reason why in the US they don't hire new grads as clinical instructors. That's why in the home care setting and education they require you to have experience as a staff nurse before they will even consider you. Which makes sense to me, it's a life or death situation.
