1. why is the VA taking so long to hire you?

   Jams95 replied to sushi4breakfast's topic in Government

   Well if you accept the offer, then they will start the process. For me, once I got the offer, it was about 3-4 months. They have to process everything, including a background check and your references. Since 9/11 this whole process takes a "long ...

   Jams95 replied to jessica09's topic in Government

   It seems to me that RNs have more opportunity for advancement. Again, I have never looked at the LPN route. I was advised many years ago to become an RN and the advice has served me well. That is not to say an LPN is any less. I do not want to sta...

   Well it all really depends on where you are starting from............ If you are just graduating high school, then you need to inquire about nursing programs LPN vs RN, Associates vs Bachelors (RN track only)... You have to start taking prerequisite...

9. Interested in the VA

   Jams95 replied to SAHMStudent's topic in Government

   Do you have your RN license? Any experience? At my VA, and I would assume all are the same, nurses deal with Nurse Recruitment, not HR. So, go down in person and follow up on your application..... I do know that the VA's are having a hiring freez...

    Hello all, Can anyone tell me how the APFTs are conducted? Indoor, outdoor? How are you run thru the paces? Do you do your situps, roll over and do your pushups immediately afterward, then do you run your 2miles? Kind of like an obastacle course p...
