Can an accredited NP work as an RN (in scope) in Ohio?

Can anyone direct me to any previous threads on this ? I wasn't able to locate any.

I recently graduated with an MSN/NP. Instead of a congratulatory pat on the back, I was told by my manager that I can "no longer work here or have 12 weeks after passing board test to work as an RN."

Can't find where this is true on state board of nursing page and thought it seemed as if I was being punished for getting an education. I was planning on moving on when the right opportunity came about, but being told to move on wasn't in my plans.

Any advice ?

You can work as a RN after you are a CNP in Ohio. Just cant work outside scope of practice...i.e. you are working a shift as an RN, you cant write scripts, pretty obvious.
