7. without an RN licence what else can i do in nursing field until i get my licence?

   1lollipop replied to GN-nurse09's topic in New York Nursing

   If you can afford to just concentrate on passing your NCLEX, that would be best. Otherwise, I don't see why it'd be tougher to find a job as a nurse tech. You could always say that u plan to work...
