Who can apply: The public.
The job is open to the public, but only U.S. citizens, nationals, or people who owe allegiance to the U.S. can apply. Veterans' preference applies when qualifications are approximately equal.
Experience: Your experience must match the nurse level you apply for, from Nurse I Level I up to Nurse III. For example, a Nurse II with a BSN needs 2 years of professional nursing experience equivalent to Nurse I, Level 3.
Education: A nursing degree can qualify you, depending on the level. An Associate Degree or Diploma in Nursing qualifies for Nurse I Level I, and a BSN qualifies for Nurse I Level II. You must graduate from a nursing school accredited by ACEN or CCNE, and your degree must come from an accredited school recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Foreign degrees do not count as related degrees.
Licenses and certifications:
- Current, full, active, and unrestricted registration as a graduate professional nurse in a U.S. state, territory, Puerto Rico, or the District of Columbia
Experience can be paid or unpaid, volunteer work included: if it matches the duties, it counts. The full rules are in the announcement.
2 Resume and documents
Write a federal resume for this job. For each job you held, give the month and year you started and ended, your hours per week and what you did, using the words of the experience the announcement asks for. Many announcements accept resumes of up to 2 pages: check this one.
3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closes in 6 days (November 10, 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, and your experience as an RN is reviewed on five dimensions: Practice, Veteran/Patient Driven Care, Leadership, Professional Development, and Evidence-Based Practice/Research. Experience is not assumed, so unclear or missing information can 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, a security clearance (Other), then the final offer with your start date.
Tips for this job:
- Describe each nursing job in clear, specific detail, including dates and hours per week, because the agency will not assume your experience.
- If you claim veterans' preference, select it in the questionnaire and attach your DD-214 with dates and character of service.
- If you rely on education, attach transcripts and list only schools accredited by a U.S. Department of Education-recognized body.
