Working before certification

I am graduating as an FNP next month and have a primary care job lined up to start this summer. They have agreed to hire me before passing my certification exam and obtaining my state license (this is allowed by state law). Has anyone else had this arrangement? If so, how did it work in your practice? My collaborating MD will sign all of my charts and scripts during this time period. Did you call yourself an NP, a nurse, or something else when seeing patients? How did you sign your charts?

Thanks!!

At least in IL, though you can work before certification, you cant work as as APN - your license is that of an RN. You might be wise to make sure you aren't seeing pts independentl until you get your APN license.

Check with you state BON. Many states have legislation that provides protection to the NP title and the advanced roles that go along with the NP designation. In these states, one cannot be addressed as a nurse practitioner unless certified by the state BON.
