Hi everyone. New Grad Prospective RN here (pending Licensure).
Got a job. Yay. Job offered was Graduate Nurse. So far so good.
Went in for paper work. Job title they had me sign was for Graduate Practical Nurse.
Says I will report to LPN, RN blah blah, says I must have an LPN License.
Kicked up the issue to the big boss, she says it was a mistake. Comeback and sign the right job title.
Went back in, HR meets me at desk, a little snarling , eye rolling, obviously not happy. She says the job title I signed is the right one. She knows of no other job title for new grad nurses.
This does nnot seem right. alarm bells are going off in my head.
Once I start, if I am on the floor and do something out of scope of an LPN, say teaching for example and I am wrong and it goes south, in my mind the hospital will be wide open for liability and I will be open to liability as well.......
