Graduate Nurses...?

[hillaryd]

Someone told me today that Kansas passed a law disallowing GNs to practice before they have passed their boards. I've searched several news sites but haven't come up with anything.

Can anyone verify this? If so, I'd like to see the source if possible.

Thanks :)

My stepdaughter graduated RN last Spring and didn't pass her boards the first time out of the gate. However, the hospital in Wichita did allow her to continue to work as a GN (at half RN pay) until she passed it a few months later.
