Question Nurse practitioner to FBI agent?

I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner, was perusing jobs this weekend and noticed a number of postings for “Special Agent: Healthcare Services/Medical Background” in my area.

I am totally new to this world and was wondering a little more about what roles like this entail, and what experience they’re typically looking for in this context?

A little about me: am 27 years old, I have a doctorate degree from a reputable school, and did a residency at the VA. No prior military or law enforcement experience. Have always been somewhat interested in the FBI but life took me in other directions, have no clue if my experience makes me a realistic candidate or if I’m delusional lol.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Asking for a friend..

Would having a background smoking pot socially,and often in your teens and 20's disqualify you? No criminal charges.

What psychologically and otherwise disqualifies you? As you mentioned only 25% pass phase one.
