    I know someone that already got contacted through email stating notice of results. My friend emailed it to me and wanted to share for those of you waiting, it stated, "You got qualified for the position however you were not among the most highly qualified candidates, therefore you will not be referred to the selecting officials at this time" they continued saying if more candidates are needed we will re-evaluate your application after 90 days.

    applied.

    Hello

    I just heard that those who do not have a BSN will not be qualified unless they have extensive experience. I am an ADN, have 1 year experience as a CNA, 4 years as an LVN @ the VA....hope things work out this year. I wish you all the best of luck.
