Who can apply: The public.
This job is open to the public, but only U.S. citizens, nationals, or those who owe allegiance to the U.S. can apply. You must provide proof of U.S. citizenship.
Experience: You need at least one full year of professional nursing experience at the GS-9 level or above. That experience must include reviewing and evaluating medical data, coordinating discharge planning or case management, providing staff education, and helping develop or improve processes.
Education: A diploma, associate degree, or bachelor's degree in nursing from a professional nursing program can count together with the experience above. A PhD or equivalent doctoral degree from a professional nursing or related medical science program can qualify you on its own. The school must be accredited, and nursing degrees from foreign schools need certification from the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools.
