Hi to all of you.. Im just wondering how you guys applied for GN? I heard about GN after I graduated (2005, foreign grad) and till now im still struggling to pass the RN boards. I have my ATT and it is valid till Aug.. Am I still allowed to apply for GN? if Im allowed.. may I know the process how to apply and should I look for the hospitals here in NY if theyre accepting GNs?? Please advice me... Thank you!

To get a GN permit in New York State, you must already have a job lined up. The facility where you will work has to sign the permit request form, verifying that there are nurses there who will be directly supervising you.
Best of luck!

NJ doesnt recognize GNs. They make you wait until you pass boards. I took a job in Delaware and they Do recognize them.
Did you take the NCLEX yet? I haven't found a place yet which will hire new grads without the RN license. You are lucky to be able to start right after you graduate.The school I went to (and others I heard about) takes over month to submit the credentials to the Board of Nursing, before we can even take the NCLEX.

I am working in a med/surg split unit. 1/2 acute care and 1/2 restorative care. I began working there as an aide 2 years ago after clinical rotation. Take boards in 2 weeks but began orientation last week. I am so fortunate to be with a wonderful staff. They have encouraged and supported me throughout school. Hopefully this will make the transition from student to nurse a not so terrifying experience.....

I am hired for a full time med-surg fellowship where I get to work on different floors during orientation. I am hoping to find a position on a surgical, surgical tele, or cardiac surgical floor. I start June 11th too!

As a new grad at my hospital we are required to orient in all depts with the exception of ICU, OR, & the ED for 4 months. I am really unsure which area I will choose.

I am working at Barnes Jewish Hospital at Washington University in St. Louis. Med/Surg, we have a 3 month fellowship and at my 1 year mark I have a position granted in the ED. Pretty nervous about starting on the floor next week, but I am sure things are not going to be as bad as I have anticipated.

same with me. It will be June sometime before I can take the NCLEX, but I will be working under a temporary graduate license which is good for 90 days. I know I am lucky.. they offered 6 months of training for this dream job.. cant wait to get started
I have got to know...6 months orientation to new job????? AND they took you on before your license? WHERE are you working???/

Applied for an internship in the OR. If not the OR, my next choice is Labor and Delivery because I may be able to get in the OR with a C-section.
