    ORTech2RN replied to Tammy197378's topic in Government, Military

    Sorry, I did not read thoroughly,lol. So, you have a tentative offer? I don't know of anyone who has successfully bargained with the board. Trust me, after waiting for the board to meet, decide and...

  4. VA contract negotiation

    ORTech2RN replied to Tammy197378's topic in Government, Military

    You really don't have much to bargain for, that is after getting a final offer. That said, each VA pay scale is different, it's based on locality pay. As such, VA nursing does not follow the...

    ORTech2RN replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    My recruiter was able to provide me with an example of a Dimensions that was used several years back. That helped me quite a bit. If you are being hired as an ARPN, I would think that would be an...

    ORTech2RN replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Any luck? I've been waiting now, for what seems like weeks on a final offer. The recruiter said "soon," but that was over a week ago. Absolutely zero communication from their end. It's incredibly...

    Your process sounds different than what I experienced. I applied early March, called for an interview a week later. Got a phone call several days later stating that conditions looked favorable, and...

    ORTech2RN replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Yikes, I forgot how the government can be a "hurry up and wait" deal. I submitted Vetpro, equip and other paperwork almost 2 weeks ago, and nothing yet. I did call the nurse recruiter and was told...

    There is a separate thread on the VA Hiring process that dates back to 2012, check that out, should give you some insight to how things generally roll. Although, each VA has it's own variation and...

  17. Applying to VA Nursing jobs

    ORTech2RN replied to ManekiNekoRN's topic in Government, Military

    I applied for two jobs at the nearby VA. One was an open and continuous posting for positions in telemetry and med surg. I got the famous "sent to referral," but I never got a call for an interview....

    ORTech2RN replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Found out they have been calling my references, and I went ahead and filled my current boss in that I had been selected, but not officially offered yet. I have talked to the recruiter and he said that...

  20. Interview at VA in 2 days, what to wear?

    ORTech2RN replied to morglan's topic in Government, Military

    I went with Khaki dress pants, and a nice shirt. Made sure my hair was trimmed, and had an overall very clean cut appearance. For an RN job, I'm not sure a full suit and tie would be

    ORTech2RN replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    I'm not sure which area of nursing you're in, but you did on a very good point. RN's, whether they are in case management or on the floor, should make very good friends with social workers, as well as...

    ORTech2RN replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    I can relate to the "friendly" factor. Despite being a major facility near downtown Lexington, the VA seemed very welcoming. It really was an honor to be interacting with the folks that served our...
