For my resume: Am I an "RN Graduate" or "Graduate RN"?

I finish school next week (yippee!!!), and I'll take the boards in October. In the meantime, I'm applying for jobs as an RN. Do I put my name, then "Graduate RN", or "RN Graduate"? Or something else?

Thanks!
well you are not technically a registered nurse until you pass your boards so graduate nurse might be a better term since you don't have a license yet. Are you getting you temporary practice permit?

Perhaps list your degree instead?

You're a graduate nurse. You'll become a Registered Nurse when you pass NCLEX.

If you have a state issued temporary license, you are a Graduate Nurse, abbreviated "GN" and states vary on how you work as far as autonomy vs being supervised. I'm a bit concerned that you weren't taught this before graduation. Anyway, consult your states' nurse practice act.

My school recommended listing our degree and "NCLEX-eligible" under the education section of our resume.

You cannot use the title "RN" at any time before you have taken and passed NCLEX-RN. Once you pass this examination, you will be an RN.Once you graduate from nursing school, you are a graduate nurse, a.k.a. GN. Therefore, "GN" is the title that should be used on all applications and resumes until you pass NCLEX. Good luck to you!

Until you are licensed, you are formally a "Graduate Nurse."
