   Verbal offer 3/31/22, official offer mid-June, started 8/1. Theres a lot to the on boarding process. Ask LOTS of questions when it comes time to the paper. There is no appeal so one and done. Good luck!

2. Low NP Salary for VA

   @nursekingdom It's easy. I'm in PACT and the workload is nice, the benefits are great! They are expecting the nursing boards to be abolished FY23 and transitioning everyone to a different scale so looking forward to that. The boards are antiquated an...

3. Low NP Salary for VA

   NP_12345 replied to NP_12345's topic in Advanced

   I’ve heard that too. They do not allow any type of appeals upon hiring. I went through every channel all the up to chief nurse but was told too bad. Once you are employed and working you allowed 1 appeal per year.

   NP_12345 replied to nursegurl82's topic in Government

   I’m not an expert in this topic as I just onboarded and didn’t score as high as I would have liked. After reading tons of blogs and such the best tip I have found is to explain the situation, your role, measurable outcome (specific) and to cite your ...

   NP_12345 replied to Sarah918's topic in Government

   I did all of that and wrote a 11 page dimensions papers including all that I could even begin to think of. I suppose my CV could be updated a bit more to reflect more. If I end up getting to reboard I will definitely be beefing up that CV. I had 2 nu...

7. VA offering me RN 1 but I have BSN??

   NP_12345 replied to MajesticDancer's topic in Government

   I appreciate the info. I have been a RN for 11 years and four of those are NP with MSN-FNP. I was offered NP2 step three, which is insulting. At a minimum I was expecting low NP3 or high NP2. I wrote 11 pages explained how my provider directly benefi...

   @RN4KU Hey there, not sure if you're still with the VA. Please send me your Nurse 3 paper, too. I'm boarding currently and was offered NP2 step 3. Asking for reboarding. I have 11 years RN and NP experience so not too happy with that offer. ...

   NP_12345 replied to MajesticDancer's topic in Government

   @MajesticDancer How did you fight it? I'm currently in VA onboarding nightmare and my offer is low and I believe I am missing some step credits. HR told me offer is firm and final, but I'm not buying it and plan to escalate. Thanks!

    I received my official offer from the VA for a NP position. I am a RN of 11 years and NP 4 years of that. I wrote my heart out and provided every single piece of supporting documents for what I wrote. I made sure to specify in my examples of how my a...
