Common questions
- How many new grad RN jobs are open in Illinois?
- Right now, 2,461 open RN jobs in Illinois don't rule out new grads, and 237 say new grads are welcome.
- Can I apply to nursing jobs before I pass boards?
- Often, yes. Many employers and residency programs take applications while a test date or ATT is pending, and some states allow practice on a graduate permit. The posting or program page states what it accepts.
- What is a nurse residency, and do I need one?
- A structured first year: longer orientation, a cohort, classroom time. You don't need one to become a good nurse, but the structure helps, and the fine print on commitment and repayment terms is worth reading before you sign.
