VA Medical Center

Hello everyone!

I had a few questions regarding the VA centers. I have heard that the shifts at the VA centers are awful. I have heard that you never know if you're working shifts that are 12s, 8s, or 4s. Is this true? Or is it like any other job where you are hired on for a particular shift with certain hours?

Also, I was wondering as a new grad if it is hard to get on there, especially as an ADN.

Thanks for any input!

Hi I was offered 2 positions at 2 separate VA facilities and I am a recent new grad with a ADN and BS in health ed & behavior. Took the position now waiting for salary.

So yes as a new grad ADN u can get hired. For me it was not hard. I applied and around 2 weeks later had an interview.

IDK about the shift dilemma u heard about but when i was interviewed and offered the position I was brought on to work nights 12 hour shifts and they never mentioned shifts changing to shorter ones
