Hi! I just graduated from school but I don't have the lisenced yet just the temporary one. How can get a job with just that?

Depends on the state. In some you can apply as a graduate nurse until you take boards. If you pass boards you have your license. If you do not pass boards you can no longer work as a graduate nurse.

Get out and apply as a graduate. I'm assuming you've taken boards. If you haven't taken your boards, you have to do that first.

I was hired before taking my NCLEX. Obviously the job was conditional on my passing but it shouldn't be a huge barrier- just explain to the recruiter when your test is (if you haven't already taken it).

Kind of tough in Iowa. Maybe working as a tech in an area of interest while your finishing up.
