The REWARD Experience Act of 2023 allows military medical facilities to hire experienced nurses more flexibly by waiving standard work experience requirements for certain applicants. Specifically, the bill permits hiring managers at Department of Defense health care facilities to bypass General Schedule qualification standards related to work experience for nurses or practical nurses who either currently work at military facilities or have worked there for at least one year and have since earned a bachelor's or graduate degree in nursing from an accredited program. When a hiring manager waives these experience requirements, they must still certify that the applicant meets all other standard qualifications for the position. The bill aims to streamline recruitment of experienced military nurses by recognizing their existing service and educational achievements. No specific funding or implementation timeline is included in the legislation.
