Please tell me Im not being Dramatic!

[RN_by_day]

So I recently becamed licensed as a RN on 10/24/12 and I currently work at a family practice office as a LPN...5 months prior to graduating I spoke with my supervisor and asked if I would be compensated as an RN once I completed school and passed my NCLEX, she replied yes. So the same day I passed I printed my license number off the State board of nursing and put it on my supervisors desk and since I still have not recieved my RN pay and have not even heard about it again and it will be exactly 1 month next week.

I did call HR but they were of no help and just basically called my supervisor and told them I called to inquire about my pay and as a result my supervisor asked me if I had any more questions--I just asked her if she could give me a time frame of how long the whole process would take and her answer was "several weeks". WHich I explained to her is not very descriptive that could mean 2 weeks or 4 months, I just feel like I am not being told whats going on. So I just feel like things shoule be moving along faster than what they are. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Am I over-reacting?

Your smart to do that. You should have signed a new job description with an amount you would be paid on it. If they didn't have it done yet, then there's no process even being started....

I am so sad that the excitement (or so I perceive it) is so dampened in this economy at Nursing graduations now. It really robs these graduates from the fruit of their Labors. I understand "why" it is what it is, but we were able to have that cheese just out of reach only separated by graduation and boards. Now these guys graduate into a depressing job market, and it's just sad. I will be so glad when it gets better, it always has gotten better-but that won't make up for what these graduates went through!
