VA Proficiency Nurse II to III help

Published

Hello, I am working on my VA proficiency yet again trying to get a promotion to a nurse III. It has been a very frustrating process and last time I appealed all the way to VACO without any luck.

Is there anyone willing to share their proficiency for when they got promoted from a nurse II to a nurse III?

Email: [email protected]

Thanks in advance,

Sincerely

Arthur Harrelson, RN MSN-BC

All the best. I have sent in a reconsideration for Nurse II, so unfortunately I am not much of a help...

Hi guys, I got this email recently. If you are a member of NNOC/NNU you can attend this training. Hope this will help.

"I'm happy to announce that we will be holding VA Division Proficiency Training on Saturday, September 26th at 1:30pm Eastern/10:30am Pacific time. This training will be for 3 hours, via zoom.

The training will cover:

How to write proficiencies,

What requirements are needed to be promoted (I.e; going from Nurse 1 to Nurse 2, Nurse 2 to Nurse 3, etc..), and

What an RN needs to do to prepare for promotion.

The training will be led by Irma Westmoreland, RN, NNOC/NNU VA Chair.

Materials needed for the class will be emailed out prior to September 26th.

Here is the link to the registration for our training -  https://forms.gle/1i3SXZziQ8fFcXXe6 - Please DO NOT register from a VA computer.

We will cap registration for this training at 100 RNs. Registration will be on a first come, first serve basis. This class is for NNOC/NNU members only. Non-members wishing to attend the class can sign up to become a member prior to September 26th."

I was denied in collaboration, appealed and was granted. We have Promote committee who help a lot with this stuff. So, one of the members gave me a feedback.

" *Uses group process to identify, analyze and resolve care problems.

*Educates colleagues and/or students and serves as a preceptor and/or mentor".

I asked to clarify (we skyped, so here is the communication thread):

Me: For collaboration "Uses group process to identify, analyze and resolve care problems " Does it mean that I work in the group? Should I write that me as a SPHM Unit Peer leader collaborated with my fellow SPHM members and designed this project and delivered this to the PT team?

Her: If you can write something like as a consultant or as an expert or as a lead? initiate?

Me: Unit Peer Leader is not enough?

Her: I think it is... and write it as the unit peer leader.

I'm not sure I can share my writing here in open chat.

I’ve been trying for five years to get Nurse II. Can you send me a copy of yours so I can look at examples used/worded. [email protected]

I am also struggling with the Nurse III process at the VA.  You try to get help, but people are so secretive about the process.  I want to understand how to word everything.  I was hired as a Nurse 2, step 2 over 20 years ago.  I currently have my MSN.  I am at the end of Level Nurse II.  If anyone could provide me assistance, I would appreciate it.
