Am I a nurse??

Published

Well I graduate from my RN program this weekend. Am I a nurse then? Or technically do I have to wait to pass boards before I can say I am a nurse?? I am curious. Thank you! :clown: :nurse:

You survived nursing school and should feel proud to call yourself a nurse. You will be a graduate nurse until boards but a "Nurse" all the same. You do not have to wait until your boards ro call yourself a nurse, just remeber you are a grad nurse.

Welcome to nursing.
