Yes, that is true. Under the benefits section of the job posting, it will say if it is eligible for EDRP. I got this for a year at my old VA (MI) but lost it when I moved to Utah. By the way, it's a small world: I'm at the ABQ VAMC teaching instructo...

go to http://usajobs.gov/ There you can find jobs with the Veterans Affairs hospital (where I work and love it) or as a civilian with the military. I worked at the VA hospital in MI then transferred to UT :) One bonus of working for the VA is because...

Hello, I just started working in an inpatient acute psychiatric facility a few months ago. I work at a VA hospital and we have a 21 bed unit. A few weeks before I started working here the ward was shut down because a patient pulled a knife on a nur...

upper management is supportive :) Union is not involved, and since this is SUPPORTING staff safety, I don't think they'd have much bad to say about it. Thanks for the input though!

liberal or conservative, that's how media works lol. Anyways, we already have policies in place to do contraband searches, I'm just asking for input on adjusting it and to get some advice :)

1. Does anyone know the March OBLC dates? I don't, but you will know when the email is sent from your unit to the place you are having OBLC, in which they request that your space be reserved. That's how I found out mine. 2. Exactly how long is OBLC,...

Hello, Odd question but I don't know where else to go besides to my unit and it's kind of a personal matter IMO. Before I get to the question let me provide some background and such to prevent any misunderstanding. I have my own insurance, not tric...

thanks, that's what I was thinking. I'm new to the reserves so I just wanted to be sure that this wouldn't be a concern

A month after my phone interview I was hired ^_^ I transfer to the SLC VA on July 20th Took a lot less time than expected. Either they were very desperate or I impressed them :) Either way, I'm happy it went quickly lol Can't wait to move to U...

Yep! I think it's 15ish... Not bad ^_^

p.s. I work for the VA and I took over annual leave and military leave to cover all the time I was gone... so I got paid as if I were working full time PLUS my reserve pay ^_^ I love working for the VA as a reservist

I googled this and the page is down Does anyone have these questions saved or anything?

I am a reservist so I'm not sure if my experience will be the same as yours, unless you are a reservist. I went for 26 days to fort sam. I drove my own car there, and yes, this is allowed (I got 1400 in travel pay afterwards, too ) and it was WONDE...

I believe you are, and no this would not be double dipping as far as I know. I work for both. I leave for officer's basic course in a week and a half and I took enough leave that I am getting paid from the VA as well as the reserves and the office o...

I did my application process last year, so I'm not certain how long exactly

I began the application process in February (turned in my app) and began work in May. The process varies by individual though. Just keep checking on the status of your app. Speak with the manager you want to work under and they can help facilitate...

wow, very well written. Chilling

I'm in the final stages of join the army reserves and my recruiter just asked me this via email "Need to know if you want the unit(1 weekend a month 2 weeks in the summer) oh and drills at your hospital:) Or the APMC only 2...

Unfortunately I don't know the answer to this one. Hopefully someone else can ansewer. Good luck to you!

Don't beat yourself up about it. See it as a learning experience :) Now you have an idea of what you should (and should not) do next time.

beautiful but sad story... thank you for sharing this with us

I'm willing ^_^

Sadly he did not give me any examples. If you wouldn't mind doing that, I would REALLY apprecaite it. Would be great to see an example.

I have to write a letter of intent for joining the Army reserves as a psych nurse. Problem is, I don't know where to start and I'm having trouble getting motivated. My recruiter is knocking down my door to get it, anyone have any ideas? examples? I...
