no, the department of defense REQUIRES all RN to have at least one year of medical experience at the RN level before hiring. The recommendation is to do a year at a near bye VA center and then come on board, so that you are benefitting within the GS system. Otherwise, go to a civilian RN job for a year and then apply through USAjobs.gov
Usajobs.gov would be the best place to find an accurate answer.
I'm not in the hiring Dept, so I wouldn't know.
