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 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.

Happy to help. You need to do something that affects change at your unit level. Re-write a policy, suggest a change that improves outcomes etc. One nurse simply identified that we didn't have an actual order set to access an infusaport for SDS. She collaborated with oncology, did her research, re-wrote the policy and wrote the order set. She then in-serviced all the staff. If you email me I will send you mine. What is your email I will send you mine? (I also am on the board). If you don't get it, please re-write it. When you get to ethics, make sure your correlate your example to the ANA code of ethics and one of the dimensions there. Hope this 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.

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 would be interested in this. I currently work in the private sector, so new to the government.  I am currently working on my proficiency letter and feel so lost. I am a BSN prepared nurse with over 7 years experience. Wanting to get hired on for at least nurse 2. Any input appreciated! ?
