I have heard mixed reviews on working for the VA. I get the feeling it depends on each particular facility, so I am wondering if I can get some input from RN's who DO like the VA they work in...

Specializes in ED.

I like working for them. I'm a vet myself so I can relate to many of these guys. We have a pretty good patient-staff ratio in the ER there, and I feel we get along fairly well. Sometimes the politics can get to you, but the benefits are awesome and the pay is good too.

Do you mind telling me where you work?

I have worked at VAs in two different cities and it can definitely depend on the specific one. One I didnt like much and the other I love now! They all have their ups and downs though, there are definite draw backs to working for the government but the benefits are amazing and it truly is a joy working with the vets.
