I am graduating as an FNP next month and have a primary care job lined up to start this summer. They have agreed to hire me before passing my certification exam and obtaining my state license (this is allowed by state law). Has anyone else had this arrangement? If so, how did it work in your practice? My collaborating MD will sign all of my charts and scripts during this time period. Did you call yourself an NP, a nurse, or something else when seeing patients? How did you sign your charts? Thanks!!
