Do you qualify for VN?

With experience: Your experience must match the grade you apply for. For Nurse II, you need a BSN plus 2 years of professional nursing at the Nurse I, Level 3 level. For Nurse III, you need an MSN plus 2 years of specialized nursing experience, one year at the Nurse II level.

With education: You must graduate from a professional nursing school accredited by ACEN or CCNE when the program was completed. A master's or doctoral degree can qualify you for higher grades. Foreign degrees above associate level need a formal equivalency validation.

Licenses and certifications you need:

• Current, full, active, and unrestricted nursing registration in a U.S. state, territory, Puerto Rico, or D.C.

How to apply well

• Transcripts if you qualify through education
• DD-214 if you claim veterans' preference
• SF-15 if you claim 10-point veterans' preference
• Professional certification or license, if applicable

How you will be rated: You will be rated on how well you meet the qualifications. Your nursing experience is also checked for quality across five areas: Practice, Veteran/Patient Driven Care, Leadership, Professional Development, and Evidence/Based Practice/Research. Errors or missing information can lower your rating or make you ineligible.
