Soon to be RN grad what to do about current job

[utchick]

Basically I work as an LVN in dialysis for a few years now, and am set to graduate with my ADN in May. I don’t know whether I’ll leave or not but my current job has not approached me with an offer yet? Is that normal? Also due to school and studying for the NCLEX I have to downgrade my full time lvn position to a part time or PRN basis. Should I mention anything about that fact that I am technically considered a graduate nurse in my letter of resignation from my full time  position ?‍♀️????  Does my job title automatically change??? Technically if this is true and It does change should they pay me more money?? The whole thing is super confusing ?‍♀️ 
 

Help?!?!

Not automatically extending an offer for an RN position is common practice in many organizations.

Are you in a state that allows you to practice as a graduate nurse prior to writing the NCLEX and obtaining the results?  If not, there really isn't any advantage to including this.  What would be more appropriate would be to list your graduation date, and date that you are scheduled to write the NCLEX.

Again, in most facilities this is not common practice.  If you want to stay, and there is an open RN position, you are most likely going to have and apply for it.

If you want to stay at your current facility you should discuss this with your manager.

Best wishes.
