I'm just curious about this whole thing.. I've been out of school for a few years, with only less than 6 months experience... I wonder if I still be considered  a new graduate? 

I see, so even if one has been out from school for years, it is only measured in the number of months or years of experience that they are considered a new grad or not?

Hum. I am not sure about that one. I usually considered a nurse not a new grad after about a year's experience.

I always think it's expierence..I also think it dependss on the unit you are working..Teresa

 according the companies ive interviewed with, you are only a new grad until the following year's class graduates, then they are the new grads.  a "new nurse" (which is based on a nurse's experience) is a whole other story.  i agree, i think employers consider you new until you have 2 years experience but, since even after graduation and as a working nurse, you never stop learning, "new nurse" is possibly interpretational, a slow process where as months and years go by, you realize that there are mounting number of people newer than you!!!!!  that's my interpretation.
