REWARD Experience Act of 2023
The REWARD Experience Act of 2023 allows military medical facilities to waive work experience requirements for nursing applicants who previously worked as nurses in the Department of Defense (DoD) for at least one year and later earned a Bachelor's or graduate nursing degree. It directly affects experienced DoD nurses seeking new nursing or practical nurse positions within military medical treatment facilities. The bill enables hiring managers to bypass standard experience qualifications for eligible applicants, provided they certify the candidate meets all other required General Schedule standards. This change streamlines hiring for nurses who completed advanced education after beginning their DoD nursing careers.
