Do you qualify for VN?

With experience: Your nursing experience is matched to a grade level, such as Nurse I, Level III or Nurse III. For example, a BSN plus 1 year of professional nursing equivalent to Nurse I, Level 2 qualifies for Nurse I, Level III. Experience is judged on five areas: practice, veteran and patient care, leadership, professional development, and evidence-based practice. Paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work, counts. Preferred: placing PICC and midline catheters, and VA-BC (Vascular Access Board Certified) certification.

With education: A diploma, associate degree (ADN), bachelor's (BSN), or master's (MSN) in nursing can qualify you, depending on the grade level. Nursing school must be accredited by ACEN or CCNE. A master's degree in a related field with a BSN can also qualify at some levels. Foreign degrees need a Certificate of Foreign Equivalency.

Licenses and certifications you need:

  • Current, full, active, and unrestricted registration as a graduate professional nurse in a U.S. state, territory, Puerto Rico, or DC
  • 1 full and unrestricted nursing license from any U.S. state or territory
