VA Proficiency Nurse I to II Assistance

Published

Hello... I am also trying to write for Nurse 2 (currently Nurse I Level 3) and have been denied a couple of times already, although have several years of experience and a BSN.

Work really hard day everyday, initiated a few projects and attended workshops. Also mentor new hires on a regular basis as well.

I am not that great at writing and unfortunately have had no success getting help within my unit. It seems like I am on my own?

if anyone is willing to share some examples, a sample proficiency and/or pointers, that would be greatly appreciated!

I am really frustrated at this point...

Were you able to get your nurse II after submitting your proficiency? I'm currently a nurse I level 3 and working on my proficiency- wondering if you would send me an example proficiency. Thanks so much!

I am actually an NPSB board member. Please solicit a board members help when writing. They will not be able to vote after they help you, however, they may be able to help. Some hints, wordy is not better, be to the point. Pretend the people reading it are not nurses and have no idea what you do. They will want you to show outcomes and sustainability. Precepting is great. It is a convoluted, subjective system, I hope one day they replace it. Good luck!

Hi Alison, 

I am working on my proficiency paper now as a new hire into the VA system. I have reached out to the nurse recruiter for assistance and they only emailed me the requirements and guidance table. I am feeling very overwhelmed as a result I haven't written a thing. I have been searching the internet for examples to help me with starting. Anything else you can suggest? Thank you!
