Foreign Service Registered Nurse - Limited Non Career Appointment (RNLNA)

The Bureau of Medical Services (MED) maintains and promotes the health of employees and their eligible family members (EFM) who represent U.S. government (USG) agencies abroad. The Department assigns Foreign Service Medical Specialists, Limited Non-Career Appointment Registered Nurses (RNLNA) to select posts overseas. Many of these posts have significant health risks and local medical facilities are often inadequate to cope with them. This position is for a Registered Nurse (RN). A Limited Non-Career Appointment (LNA) does not lead to onward employment in the State Department or conversion to another form of employment. Candidates must be willing to accept assignments based on the needs of the Foreign Service, primarily in high-threat locations. Limited Non-Career Registered Nurses (RNLNA) presently serve at unaccompanied posts in Iraq, Pakistan, and Haiti. Assignments may change at any time based on the needs of the Service. Family members are not permitted to accompany RNLNAs to post
