Security clearance

Published

Hi all,

I have obtained a full time RN position at the Bethesda Naval/Walter Reed Medical Center through a contractor. Does anyone know have any idea how long this type of security clearance takes to go through? I know the security clearance is minimal. My recruiter stated it can take as short as 3 weeks and as long as 3 months. I am trying to get a feel for the time frame. All the paperwork and fingerprinting was submitted about 3 weeks ago. Any input is appreciated!

I am a LPN, I started this same process in March. Not sure if it’s due to COVID but I just finished today. Be patient.

I do not. I've googled, but came up with minimal info.

What is the security clearance, if any for a civilian nurse--sf85 denotes no clearance--sf86 denotes secret.
