    My geriatric primary care program was new and wasnt set up for success. We basically has to beg to go to other areas. We got none of what we were promised. I get it about the looking outside the

    I finished in 9/2023. A young lady in the class behind me found a job in outpatient neurology but she was a nurse at the VA and knew how to network. She and her cohorts were denied a job on the unit...

    Yes, I was offered a job but I declined. I just didn't want to work in that department and it was nothing else open. You must network alot to know whats available, all jobs arent posted. Also, It was...

    I am so glad they are getting hired. At this location they had a three month residency for VA RNs that has experience elsewhere as FNPs. But they don't do that every year and they are guarantied

    prettymica replied to Freckledkorican's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes, they should start applying as soon as possible. Some seem to think that as soon as we are in the system, you can be transferred to a job if you are hired. It's not that easy at my location, per...

  12. Chronicles of a VA APRN Resident

    prettymica replied to Freckledkorican's topic in Advanced Practice

    Its a huge need, but think of it this way. If the VA can keep these residencies(NP, PA, MD) going, pay us/them a lower wage to do all the work for a year or more, why would I higher anyone when I...

  13. Chronicles of a VA APRN Resident

    prettymica replied to Freckledkorican's topic in Advanced Practice

    So sorry you didn't get the job. One of my classmates move 3.5 hours away with her family for this residency and she was the first to leave about 3.5 months during the program. My director said she...

    prettymica replied to Freckledkorican's topic in Advanced Practice

    There is nowhere to transfer to. I don't plan on moving and the next hospital is 3.5 hours away. I cant trust people, when the dealings have been shady this long. The director of this department said...

  17. Chronicles of a VA APRN Resident

    prettymica replied to Freckledkorican's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think it was a little of everything. It was only 3 of us to start. The fact that basically we have been in the same department for 90 percent of the time; there really isn't much else to learn. I...

    In my state it depends on the clinic and your chief complaint. If you are pregnant you go an obgyn specialist clinic. It you need a regular pap, it might be done by your pcp or you can schedule with...

    So I just spent 2 months with a primary care and functional medicine MD. It was cool to learn from her . Now I am back to primary care with the primary geriatricians. I don't think we are going to get...
