Did you ever get assistance? Your NM is supposed to provide guidance, you can also ask for the contact info for the NQS-SAC SME (basically new promotions board subject expert or chair).

 

Your manager is supposed to give you a worksheet that spells out what criteria you need to meet in 5 areas (leadership, practice, research, veteran/patient care, and professional development, to promote to the next level.

exceptions: you will not promote to nurse 2 without a BSN and 2 years of nursing experience. you will not promote to nurse 4 without an MSN and 2 years of MSN experience.
