I have been trying to learn what the promotion to nurse 3 is- you go to the same step as you were at 2? So a N2 step 6 would become a nurse 3 step 6? When I got a 2 the rule is the promotion had to be equal to at least the dollar amount or greater than 4K . Do you know what the actual rule is? I can not find it on OPM . I have had my MSN for 5 years and worked in leadership- still a 2. It’s frustrating. Congratulations on getting your 3 finally!
