With experience: Experience is matched to grade levels. For example, a nurse with an associate degree or diploma needs 2 years of professional nursing experience for Nurse I, Level III, while a BSN holder needs 1 year at the Nurse I, Level II level. Preferred experience includes radiation or hematology oncology, 3 years of RN work, and outpatient specialty care.

With education: You must graduate from a nursing school accredited by ACEN or CCNE. A bachelor's degree in nursing (BSN) can qualify you for some levels with no extra nursing experience, and a master's degree in nursing (MSN) can qualify you for others. Education must come from schools accredited by a U.S. Department of Education-recognized accrediting body.
