Process Description: Reassignment Process

If you are interested in applying and you meet the MQ’s in the specialty area, please fill out the RN Reassignment Form here:

Registered Nurse Reassignment Form

Registered Nurse Reassignment Form Instructions

Upon completing the application, please screenshot the end page as confirmation that your response was successfully submitted.

You will need to have qualification statements ready to include as part of the application.

Once you submit the Registered Nurse Reassignment form, your interest will be considered active for a period of one (1) year, starting from the date of reassignment interest email submission. Based on the specialties you indicate on the form, HR Operations will match your selection(s) for reassignment interest with vacancies in units, which require those specialties. HR Operations will determine the eligibility of the reassignment applicants, verifying that they have Permanent Civil Service (PCS) appointments, passed probation and are actively working as RNs. HR Operations will provide access to the Applicant’s Reassignment Application to the hiring Manager, who will vet the applicant, ensuring they meet the minimum and/or desired qualifications for the vacancies. The hiring Manager will interview reassignment applicants who meet the Minimum Qualifications (MQs). Current or pending disciplinary or documented performance issues within the prior three (3) years may be factored into the selection. Applicants will be selected for the reassignment based on top scores prior to P103s currently working in the specialty unit, then consider current eligible list of employees who have submitted a Notice of Interest. The hiring manager will select a hire based on that order.

The following are the MQs for each specialty.  Please contact the respective HR Operations Unit listed below, for questions about the listed vacancies:
