So you have graduated from nursing school? Are you a GVN? You should have a temporary license until you pass your boards. I worked as a GVN for a couple weeks before I got my license. The only difference is a $1-2 in pay per hour.

I worked as a CNA all during nursing school, after I got my diploma up until I got my passing test result.

STNA = State-trained Nursing Assistant (Ohio calls them STNAs, but the other states refer to them as CNAs)
