I work full time a at the Veterans hopspitial and I work PRN at Saint Francis Hospitial both in Topeka. I am taking my last pre req for nursing school and I have applied for the Spring 07 semester to Baker. At the VA I am a medical support assistant (goverment term for a ward clerk) for the ICU, Med Surge and Infectious disease wards and at St Francis I work in Centralized scheduling.
Would you say that you prefer one to the other? I'm looking at area hospitals in Topeka, Manhattan and Junction City. I'm really interested in the VA, since my time in service would count for retirement I think. I'm really hoping I can get some feedback on the hospitals in the area, especially those in Topeka. I have a year left, but always like to try to plan ahead.

I like working for the VA they pay well and the benifits are good too. If I get the privilege of becoming a nurse I would like to work here in the ICU. Actually a friend of mine came to the Topeka VA to work in ICU with 2 years expierence as an ER nurse at a VA in Washington she left here making about $26 (plus her evening and weekend diff) and went to St Francis ICU making $20 day shift. The VA has paid for all of my nursing school pre reqs and they told me that they`d pay for nursing school too....Can`t beat it! I consider it a great honor to work for and with veterans who helped defend my freedom.

Just wondered if there's anyone on here who lives in those areas, I'm thinking of moving back next spring.
