General — Registered Nurse Career Context

This General position at Department of Veterans Affairs is open to registered nurse candidates.

Compensation Analysis

Department of Veterans Affairs lists compensation for this registered nurse position at $170k to $226k annually.

This employer qualifies for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). Eligible clinicians can have their remaining federal student loan balance forgiven after 120 qualifying monthly payments (10 years). For physicians and advanced practice providers carrying significant educational debt, PSLF eligibility can represent hundreds of thousands of dollars in long-term financial benefit.

Location & Logistics

This position is based in Wyoming.

Why This Position Stands Out

  • No weekend shifts — preserving personal and family time
  • Transparent compensation ($170k–$226k)
  • Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) eligible
