Rn I, Rn Ii?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I am currently a nursing student and have been browsing some job openings. I have come across the code RN I and RNII, what exactly does that mean? Are there specific criteria for an RNI or II position. Does it relate to experience?

RNI usually means new grad, no experience. Once you pass a period of time set by the hospital (usually less than a year) you move up to RNII.

I've seen it that way at some facilities, however where I work, you aren't an RN I until you've had one year experience. 2 years experience, and you are an RN II. While you are in your first year, you are known as an RN-entry.

Let's hear it for confusion!!! *grin*

The criteria for each level are usually given in the job descriptions. Another clue is the pay range for the job titles.

Specializes in ob/gyn med /surg.

in our hospital a RN1 means no ACLS or critical care , a RN II means acls taken and RN111 means CCRN and ACLS, and there are some RN IV and i have no idea what they have,, our RN IV is the nursing supervisor over the hospital.i guess that means your the big cheese..lol

Specializes in Neonatal ICU (Cardiothoracic).

At my hospital, Staff Nurse is a new grad, Clinical nurse I has 1yr exp, Clinical Nurse II takes the charge role, Clinical Nurse III is charge/preceptor with experience...

Specializes in Psych.

Could be RNI is ADN new grad and up to a certain amount of time to become RNII with experience or RNII could be a BSN.
