Rn I, Rn Ii?

[mamac0805]

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?

[TazziRN, RN]

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.

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

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...

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.
