Job Listings with I / II / III after Job Titles

Published

Hello, I might be moving to the Chicago area and I started casually looking at some job listings. I've noticed a lot of the job titles in and around the city have Roman numerals after them, i.e. "RN II" - I've not seen this before. Can anyone who works in the area tell me if those numerals indicate the number of years of experience you need? Or does it have to do with how many hours you work? Thanks

If you’re a new grad Rush will only accept you as a I. That’s all I really know. Usually that’s what it means but UIC is a little different. Generally It refers to level of experience required for that position and equates with higher pay

RN I is a new grad. RN II has a few years and usually a BSN and a RN III is both a BSN as well as a preceptor/resource/active in committees/volunteer--extensive experience. It's *usually* (in my experience) a designation by hospitals that are either Magnet, or on a "Magnet Journey", the RN III has a portfolio, works on committees, is heavily involved in organizational nursing things at the facility. I've noticed that too in job listings, but I rarely see beyond "RN II".

The distinction, I think, is mainly experience. If you're a new grad, they won't hire you to an RN II position, I reckon.
