Difference between RN I, RN II, and RNII?

Hi,

I am planning to apply for an RN job here in Las Vegas but Im not sure about the levels that they have. I saw there are RN I, II, III but I dont know which one is more experienced. As an ER RN in Singapore before, I started as RN II and eventually promoted to RN I.. Im not sure whether the same applies here in the US. I hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance!

    In my area, there are positions such as Clinical Nurse I, II, III, and IV; it is based on the clinical ladder model, and I is a nurse with less than 1 year of nursing (or acute care) experience or a new grad or no acute care experience-depends on the criteria for the position...hope this helps!

    It's levels of clinical experience. However, the scale the facility uses can be specific to the facility: as you've seen, RN I may be the most experienced/highest level in Singapore, but at my facility in CA, RN I means inexperienced/new grad.

    I'd guess that RN I at the Las Vegas hospital also means inexperienced and RN III means most expereinced, but I would ask the hospital's HR or nurse recruiter for the most accurate answer.

    I assume RN I is an entry level position here in the U.S., You may need 1 year experience, you may need no experience (depends on the facility). RN II and III are more experienced positions.

    I live in Las Vegas and work in the Valley Health system, RN I is new grad/no acute care experience, no certifications, etc.

    Good luck with the NCLEX!

    Here in CA, you get RN II once you have 1040 hours working as an RN (RN I before that). Not sure how many for RN III.
