What is the difference between a graduate nurse and a registered nurse? i've just graduated and i need to work



is it easy to get a position as a graduate nurse (not RN)?

A Graduate Nurse ( GN) generally means that you have completed and graduated from a school of nursing / college.
RN is a graduate nurse that has passed the Board of Nursing exam and you receive a license to practice. Most hospitals, health care facilities will hire a GN. But, the pay will be less than the pay of a RN. Until you receive your license, you are limited in practicing certain skills. I hope that this helps and Good Luck. Source(s): Medical Professional, RN
You need to clarify with the employer. Some hospitals advertise job openings for "graduate nurses" meaning "newly graduated RNs" while other hospitals seeking "graduate nurses" mean they want nurses who have completed a graduate degree (master's degree in nursing).
