  • Agency employees onlyOnly current employees of the hiring agency.

Other groups listed above may get extra consideration, for example veterans' preference.

Open to the public and to current federal employees of the hiring agency. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or people who owe allegiance to the United States.

What you would do

Do you qualify for AD?

With experience: Your work experience is checked for quality in five areas of nursing practice and must match a grade level from Nurse I Level II up to Nurse III. Previous primary care experience is preferred.

With education: You must be a graduate of an accredited professional nursing school, accredited by ACEN or CCNE, or a foreign nursing school with an unrestricted nursing registration. A bachelor's degree in nursing (BSN) or higher can qualify you for some grade levels in place of extra experience, and foreign degrees do not count as related degrees.

Licenses and certifications you need:

  • Current, full, active, and unrestricted registration as a nurse in a U.S. state, territory, Puerto Rico, or the District of Columbia

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Long-form resume or CV showing degree level, school, and month and year of graduation
  • Cover letter, if you choose to include one
  • Transcript, if you rely on education to qualify
  • DD-214 if you claim veterans' preference
  • SF-15 for 10-point veterans' preference, if applicable
  • License or professional certification, if applicable

How you will be rated: You are rated on how well you meet the qualifications, based on an online questionnaire. Your application, resume, and supporting documents will be verified, and errors or missing information may lower your rating or make you ineligible.

Tips for this job:

  • Your resume or CV must show your degree level, school name, and month and year of graduation, or the VA cannot count your education.
  • Describe your experience clearly and specifically, because the VA will not assume anything about your qualifications.
  • If you claim veterans' preference, upload your DD-214 and select the preference in the questionnaire.
