GN vs. new RN

Just search the hospitals websites, most have listings for RN & GN, we hire GN's throughout the year.

Any reason you didn't apply while in school?

Good luck in your job search.

a new RN doing an internship should get paid the same as the GNs. if the GNs don't pass the NCLEX, they are usually out of the internship or have to work as techs.

Some hospitals post RN positions for any RN across the board, including ones who are brand new out of nursing school, some have specific GN positions posted, and some have one GN application for all GNs nonspecific to a certain position. All hospitals will hire GNs or new RNs without experience, and most will put you through an internship or residency before you're out there on your own anyway. So just call and talk to the nurse recruiters for the hospitals you're interested in and they'll tell you how they do it. You probably cannot negotiate on hourly pay though... I worked as an OBGYN office nurse for 6 months after nursing school so I technically had "experience" when I got hired at my current hospital unit, but since I did not have a year of hospital experience, I was required to go through their RN residency program and we all started at the same base pay. Most hospitals do it that way.

Good luck! Dallas has some great hospitals.
