New Grad VA RN

[VCA123]

Does a new grad RN started at the VA automatically begin at the lowest level/step due to no prior RN experience?  What goes to the PSB to determine my salary?  Curious of what I can, if anything, to come in at a Nurse 1, but higher step?  Any advice is appreciated.

most I've seen ban automatically nurse 2. but I have a man and I'm a nurse 2.

every wo years  you go up a step  about 7-10 steps per level
