VA Nurse 2 Proficiency Help

Published

HELP! 

I  need assistance getting a nurse 2. Been a RN (ADN) since 2011, worked medsurg, psych, ICU & floated.. Boarded at VA in 2016, worked same unit (specialty unit) ever since. I work nights so its pretty hard to join committees, etc.. but I'm charge often, orientate new hires on nights, but thats all I can think of besides routine care.. I've been capped as a nurse 1 for 3 years & I'm ready to leave unless I can get a nurse 2. 

HELP! ??

I start my new job at the VA on Aug 1st as a Nurse 2 and never worked in the VA before. I’m pretty ignorant to the importance of being a Nurse 2 and/or trying to jump from Nurse 1 to Nurse 2. I’m willing to share tips on how I answered the Dimensions of Nursing questionnaire.  By the time I was done I had 7-8 pages of answers to the questioned asked.

 

 

I just started at the VA. Can you email me the tips you used to answer the questions? Thanks.... [email protected]

Alison is there any way I could also see yours? I am also trying to get my nurse 2, and am having a hard time writing about myself. Any help would be appreciated! I am currently an RN on a medsurg unit. Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone,

Hello ,

Can I also have the tips on how to go about writing the nursing 2 I’m new to this, and I’m very confused and find it difficult to put all these together. It’s a very frustrating process. Help ??

Thanks in advance

I just started back at the VA in Sept, but the main thing is to state the facts of the problem, intervention, and solution. You can use the same problem for each dimension. I have included a sample copy of a proficiency as an example for those already employed with the VA trying to get promoted. I hope it helps.

Hi everyone, I'm writing for my Nurse II for the board to review in order to determine my pay grade for the firm offer.  Could someone please email me their approved Nurse II papers to me to use as a guide and reference?  I'm quite confused and frustrated at this point.  Thank you in advance.
