Can I continue as an RN Extern after NCLEX?

[danglee21]

I currently work on a med surg unit as an RN Extern- Nursing student. I graduated from nursing school last week and am scheduled to take my NCLEX mid April. I have an RN position in the works With another department but was told my start date would likely not be until mid May.

My question is... Does anyone know or can lead me to documentation on if I Can I still work on my current unit as an Extern even after I pass my NCLEX until my start date as an RN in another department?

Ive heard conflicting information and can't find it documented.

I work in SE Michigan for the St. John providence system.

It has been my experience, that once an extern passes the NCLEX, he or she is no longer allowed to continue in that position. However, it is left up to the facility. Have you contacted anyone in HR?

I plan to talk to my current manager this week. I was trying to keep me going to another department on the downlow until everything was finalized.

I was a PCT on my unit and once I passed boards I was no longer able to work as a PCT and moved into the RN position I had applied for. I would be surprised if they allowed you to remain an extern.
