New Grad RN's - Letter From the Board of Registered Nursing

Published

Specializes in NICU.

Hey all of you fellow New Grads! I was just wondering if anyone else was randomly selected to complete a survey for the Board of Registered Nursing regarding the hiring difficulty we are experiencing. I just completed my survey and it feels pretty good to know that the Board of Registered Nursing is aware of what is going on and seeking our input!

I don't know if anything will come of this, but we can hope. Check your mail and fill out a survey if you got a letter!

How long after becoming licensed did they send the survey?

I think it said people that were licensed after September 2012 were randomly selected. I was licensed in March of this year in my home state, and then received my CA license via reciprocity in April.
