Who can apply: The public.
This job is open to the public. You must be a U.S. citizen or national, or owe allegiance to the U.S.
Experience: Experience sets your grade level, from Nurse I, Level I up to Nurse III, and higher levels need more years and training. For example, Nurse I, Level III needs an associate degree plus 2 years of professional nursing experience. Preferred experience is 1 year of case management and 1 year of inpatient care.
Education: You can qualify with a nursing degree from a school of professional nursing accredited by ACEN or CCNE, depending on the grade level. Degrees that may apply include an associate degree, a bachelor's (BSN), or a master's (MSN), and the education must match the grade. Foreign nursing degrees need a formal equivalency validation. Graduates of foreign schools with a current, full, active, unrestricted registration can also meet the education requirement.
Licenses and certifications:
- Current, full, active and unrestricted registration as a registered 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.

3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closes in 7 days (November 11, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time).
The job closes when 50 applications are received, which may be sooner than the closing date.
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 will be rated on how well you meet the qualifications, and your nursing experience is checked for quality in five areas: Practice, Veteran/Patient Driven Care, Leadership, Professional Development, and Evidence-Based Practice/Research. Vague descriptions can lower your rating, because the agency will not assume anything about your experience.
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:
- Use the full questionnaire and list the dates, hours per week and duties for each nursing job.
- Send a transcript if you use education to qualify, and a foreign equivalency certificate if your degree is foreign.
- Submit everything by 11:59 PM ET on 11/11/2026, and apply early since the job may close after 50 applications.
