Who can apply: Internal to an agency, The public.
U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or people who owe allegiance to the U.S. may apply. Current permanent employees of VA Connecticut Healthcare Systems, including recent graduates of VHA health trainee programs, may also apply if they send proof such as an SF-50.
Experience: Experience is rated across five nursing areas: practice, Veteran and patient driven care, leadership, professional development, and evidence-based practice. Preferred experience is 3 to 5 years of nursing, including care coordination or case management and knowledge of procedures and perioperative management.
Education: You must graduate from a nursing school accredited by ACEN or CCNE. The announcement's grade table lists how associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees affect the grade level. Foreign degrees need a formal equivalency validation to count above associate level.
Licenses and certifications:
- Current, full, active, and unrestricted RN registration in a U.S. state, territory, Puerto Rico, or D.C.
Experience can be paid or unpaid, volunteer work included: if it matches the duties, it counts. The full rules are in the announcement.

3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closes in 3 days (November 6, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time).
You sign in to USAJOBS with a Login.gov account, answer the questionnaire and upload your documents, then you submit. Answer the questionnaire honestly: your resume must show what you claim.
How they rate you: You are rated on how well you meet the qualifications in the online questionnaire. Your answers will be checked against your resume and documents, and reference checks may be done. Errors or missing information may lower your rating or make you ineligible.
4 After you apply
In USAJOBS, under Applications, you can see where your application stands: received, reviewed, referred to the hiring manager or not, then selected or not. It can take a few weeks.
For the interview, prepare three examples with the STAR method: the Situation, the Task, what you did (Action) and the Result.
If they choose you: a tentative offer, then a background check, then the final offer with your start date.
Tips for this job:
- Your resume must be a long-form resume or CV that lists dates by month and year, hours per week, and school names with degree dates.
- If you are a current federal employee, attach a current-year non-award SF-50, since award SF-50s are not accepted.
- Submit your full package, including your RN license copy and transcripts, by 11:59 PM ET on 11/06/2026.
