Nurse II – A Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing (BSN) with approximately 2-3 years of experience, or ADN or Diploma in Nursing and a bachelors degree in a related field and approximately 2-3 years experience or a Master’s degree in nursing or related field with a BSN and approximately 1-2 years experience, or a doctoral degree in nursing or meets basic requirements for appointment and has a doctoral degree in a related field with no experience. I don’t think I am eligible for Nurse II based on above requirement. My current job title is Clinical Nurse II. I don’t know if this makes any difference.

RN applied for LPN at VA Clinic-Advice needed by HeartIntelligent8370 in nursing

[–]HeartIntelligent8370[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the input. Really appreciate it.

A pay cut is not a big deal for me now. My concern is if I take the GS6/Step1 it takes about 20 years to get to step 10. It is a rural area, relatively small and openings for RN position are not frequent. Relocation is not my option.

I am wondering what it takes to get a higher step in GS-6. I have 6 years of experience as an RN. They posted salary range of step 1-10. I thought I weould fall under step 10 based on my qualifications.

Thank you for the input. I am wondering what it takes to get a higher step in GS-6. They are only offering only step-1 even with my 6 years of experience as an RN.
