Internships

I have a questions for you guys. The hospital I work at is offering an internship program over the summer and I don't know much about how it works. All I know is that you get paid, and you have to interview with all the different departments and they tell you if they want you or not :). I am not sure if you have to pass the Nclex or just be signed up for it to start, or how much they pay you. Do you get paid RN pay or is it less? Also, is it better to do an internship or just take a job if you can get one? I know if you can get more training it would be better, but I need to make money asap when I graduate. Any other info about internships would be appreciated! Thanks

    Can't speak for all hospitals, but I know of two soon to be GN's that will be starting an internship in Feb. They will not get paid, but will be working for experience. Once they get so many hours in (can't remember what they said) they will sit for the NCLEX. Both are hoping to get a paying job right after passing.

    Well I am a GN and am set up to do a med-surg internship at a hospital starting Jan. 30 and I can say that I will be getting paid the same rate as a RN-1 and also will receive benefits from day one. My internship lasts 3 months and afterwards I am guarranteed a position as a RN-1.

    cschoppe: That's awesome, I hope that's the case where I'm at too. What is a "GN"?

    Graduate nurse...am hired without have taken nclex yet, (am waiting on the board of nursing to send my authorization to test).... when you graduate you get a GN permit from the board which covers you to practice on the floor until you take and pass NCLEX

    This depends on the state. Not all states allow GNs to practice. In my state, you must have passed the NCLEX and have a valid license to work in a nursing capacity, there is no GN status.
