  2. VA Nurse Salary

    Very interesting and informative, appreciate your time in explaining all of this. I still think VA is a good choice even if the retirement isn't the best. The TSP 401k or personal retirement accounts can help with that. And guaranteed no lay off f...
  3. VA Nurse Salary

    Thank you all for taking the time to explain this - very helpful ! Is any of this information published on a state basis? When I worked for UCLA, you could go to their website and plug in the job series and it would tell you what the pay is for eac...

    Now I'm really confused ! I just saw something about someone being Grade 1, level 3, step 7, or something to that effect. WHAT IS LEVEL? Never heard of that....OMG, so so complicated....

    Well, let me tell you....I've been a RN for over 4 years and never got the "acute care" inpatient hospital floor experience because I couldn't get hired anywhere when I graduated. The economy crashed in 2008 and hospitals were (and some still are) o...
  9. Best way to study for OCN exam?

    I took the OCN exam on 11/29/11 and I passed! I was shocked. I thought for sure I would fail, and this was the first time I took it. The ONS Prep course did help me a lot. It directs you on what to study for, IMO.
  10. Attitudes against the military

    How quickly people forget 9/11 which was right in everyone's back yard.... But when their freedoms are threatened, it's a different story.

  12. VA Nurse Pay

    ok, I'll have to ask for a copy of it when I interview, which I hope to be sometime soon. Sending in the rest of my documents tomorrow. Anyone know how long it takes after the end of the application filing deadline that they contact you?

  14. VA Nurse Pay

    Thanks donquack, it's the closest thing I've seen so far and it does give me a clue. I need to know about the Las Vegas area and the Long Beach California Area. Many thanks! j
  15. OCN Review advice please!

    OCNRN63, Thanks for the info. Nice to know right away if you passed or not and where you didn't do so well. Can't learn if you don't know what is wrong. Thanks! j
