Hello, I am about to graduate nursing school. I'm beginning transitions next week, and I applied for an GN/RN position on the same floor I'm doing my transitions. I don't plan on taking my NCLEX immediately, I plan on taking this job and working as a GN and then take my NCLEX most likely 2-3mos post-graduation. I will remain on the same unit, just from a GN to an RN. My school hasn't explained what a GN does. I'm wondering how different it is compared to being a nurse, and what level of independence there is. There is a pay cut of that and a newly licensed nurse so I'm assuming we have less autonomy. Thanks!
