  1. Why is the VA asking for my last pay stub?

    Guest1030015 replied to RNewbie's topic in Government, Military

    If, as a hiring manager and/or HR recruiter, you have a highly-qualified candidate with a unique set of skills and their earnings exceed what the scale will allow, you can request pay stubs and use...

  2. Nurse managers at VA

    Guest1030015 replied to special1rn's topic in Government, Military

    All supervisors will take a series of online training modules (there is a significant amount of content) on leave and attendance, unions, and other topics that are necessary to function in the role....

  3. VA 72/80 schedule

    Guest1030015 replied to jeremyRN's topic in Government, Military

    This topic definitely interests me, and I'm curious to see what everyone reports. I feel that one of the primary reasons our VA hospital is not competitive with the private sector is because nurses...

  4. VA tentative offer?

    Guest1030015 replied to CRCollins515's topic in Government, Military

    This isn't always the case... it's facility dependent. In some cases, candidates are provided with a take-it-or-leave-it

  5. VA Benefits

    Guest1030015 replied to furryhat's topic in Government, Military

    I think this is area and specialty dependent. I made a good wage in the private sector and was expecting a significant pay cut when I moved to the VA, especially since it the hospital was in an area...

  6. VA RN grading and pay. Was there a mistake?

    Guest1030015 replied to Healthygina's topic in Government, Military

    What you write depends on what type of position you're applying for. There are levels (Nurse I, II or II) and then clinical pathways (clinical, supervisory, advanced practice and consultant). Write to...

  7. VA Hiring Process

    Guest1030015 replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    You haven't waited very long in VA time. Every VA truly is different, so it's difficult to say how long it will take. In my facility, no one is asked to take the privacy class prior to hire... that...

  8. VA Hiring Process

    Guest1030015 replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    My guess is that you have the job, but you're waiting on budgeting approval. Hang in

  9. VA Hiring Process

    Guest1030015 replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Have you physically signed your application documents already, or did you apply online? I have sometimes seen HR request signatures or an ROI immediately before presenting an offer. I was asked to...

  10. BSN Nurse supervising MSN nurses

    Guest1030015 replied to Neats's topic in Nurse Management

    It sounds like your nurses have an entitlement problem, and I wonder if is there a culture of lateral violence in your workplace. Honestly, I wouldn't so much as entertain conversations like that with...

  11. VA- The mysterious on boarding process

    Guest1030015 replied to Student Mom to Three's topic in Government, Military

    I know this is probably too late to be of use to you, but the answer is that it really depends on the VA, and maybe even the particular human resources recruiter working with you. If your profile goes...

  12. VA Hiring process 2017

    Guest1030015 replied to KayLPN's topic in Government, Military

    It's a toss up. A hiring manager can receive many referred applicants for a particular position, yet only interview a handful... or none at all if internal candidates are attractive. Some managers use...

  13. CCRN Help

    Guest1030015 replied to USNRN90's topic in Critical Care

    This is so true. If you don't understand the whys and hows, then the information that you've memorized might get "CCRN" added to your name badge, but it likely won't improve the way that you manage...

  14. CCRN Help

    Guest1030015 replied to USNRN90's topic in Critical Care

    I enjoyed the Gasparis videos, but they're too time-consuming for repetitive use... she uses too much time for story telling; the book that comes with the videos is pretty sweet, though. I completed...

  15. Gambro Prisma CRRT 7.1

    Guest1030015 replied to ReneeYY54's topic in Critical Care

    Yes, we calculate I/Os and adjust fluid removal rate hourly to obtain the ordered net deficit. Sometimes the nephrologist orders "net positive," in which case we still calculate I/Os on a flow sheet...

  16. Swan-Ganz Usage

    Guest1030015 replied to Cvepo's topic in Critical Care

    We're a 25-bed, mixed ICU in a community hospital. 5% of our patients end up with Swan lines during their stay; I track our unit statistics, so I just happen to know this. Most of our Swan lines are...
