Who can apply: The public, Internal to an agency.
The job is open to the public and to U.S. citizens, nationals, or people who owe allegiance to the U.S. Current federal employees of the hiring agency may also apply, and current Louisville VAMC employees get first consideration.
Experience: Experience is matched to grade levels from Nurse I, Level II up to Nurse III, and must be professional nursing work. Experience is also reviewed for quality across five nursing areas: practice, Veteran/patient-driven care, leadership, professional development, and evidence-based practice.
Education: A bachelor's degree in nursing (BSN) or a master's degree can reduce the experience needed. Schools must be approved and accredited by ACEN or CCNE. Foreign nursing degrees above associate level need a formal equivalency validation. Foreign education is not credited as a related degree.
