Just accepted position at VA hospital! Some questions...

[punkhardcoreRN]

Hey everyone, so I guess the planets must have been aligned because after applying to my first VA position I was called back, interviewed and hired with 45 days! Just completed the Vetpro, physical, etc. and I'm starting orientation next week :). After graduation I had worked 8 months exp in a teaching hospital and have my ADN so I can't wait to start working with my fellow vets (I was former USAF for 6 years) and on my BSN. Does anyone know at all how long one must wait before being able to transfer throughout the VA system and what the experiences are? Thanks!

How long was your general orientation for the VA?

Varies by VA, unit, & experience.
