REWARD Experience Act of 2023
This bill allows military medical facilities to waive certain work experience requirements for nursing applicants who previously served as Department of Defense (DoD) nurses or practical nurses (including those with at least one year of DoD nursing experience). It specifically applies to applicants who later earned a Bachelor's or graduate nursing degree from an accredited program. Hiring managers must certify these applicants still meet all other General Schedule qualification standards before waiving experience requirements. The bill directly affects DoD nursing personnel transitioning back into military healthcare roles after further education.
