Hi everyone, I'm excited to say...I received my final offer via phone call from HR on yesterday. I have a start date in December.

Yeah, I would say hang in there too. I'm waiting on the nursing board to review my file hopefully this week for the next start date in December.

Well I completed my EQIP today, everything else came back...praying to go to the board this week!!!! Pushing for a November start date.

They told me the same things about funds to verify work history. I have one job left to verify. I don't have a tentative start date yet.

I'm so happy for you VN801!!!!. I did my physical, fingerprinting and UDS yesterday. I'm almost finished with Vetpro, one thing pending. Next E-Qip and then.....Nursing Board. Praying I can get in next month.

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Yes, dc2rn2crna it says: Quality of Care: At the unit level participates in quality improvement activities that result in improved outcomes. She sent some instructions. Getting started is my issue, but I must complete it this week. Wish me luck!!!!!

@dc2rn2crna that sounds about right. One section is about Quality of Care: Describe how applicant is involved in quality improvement.

Hello everyone, I'm excited to say that I received an tentative offer on Friday. I'm confused about this form they sent me. It says Professional Nurse Reference Form A. I'm assuming this is what they call the 9 dimensions of nursing. I have to think long and hard on what to put on this form .

Yeah, I've read the thread and your right....it can take some time!!!!!!

I sent a email and called and left a vm and no call back.

A friend of mine says she had to submit hers.

I had my 2nd interview on 7/21 and haven't heard anything yet....I'm wondering do I move on or stay hopeful. it was 3 positions for this posting.

Update: I had my 2nd interview on July 21st after having the 1st interview on July 13th.....now the wait to find out if I was selected for one of the 3 positions.

Congratulations!!!!!!!

Hi everyone, I went for my interview on Thursday 7/13/17 after the position closed on 5/19/17. It was a panel of 3 and I was told the next step if chosen was an interview with the manager. Keeping hope alive that I get called...the position had 3 vacancies.

Never mind everyone, I should've searched first. I found the answer. I haven't posted here in a while...so I'm rusty....lol!!!!!!

Quick question....are the VA nurses unionized in all states? If so, what union?

Hi everyone, it's amazing how this thread has been going strong since 2012!!!!!! I'm interested in working for the VA. I'm currently in the early stage where the posting closed on 5/19/17 and I received an email on 5/26/17 saying I was "referred" to the selecting official for consideration. I'm praying that this is a good sign and that I get called for an interview soon!!!!! P.S. All of your posts have been very helpful in knowing how this process goes.

Oh, and congratulations to you all for passing your exam!!!! I'm sure I will do fine once I put my mind to studying.

Thank you that helps.

Happy New Year to all!!!!!:starornament::snowflake::candycane: I just registered to take my CCM for the April 2016 Exam!!!!! Anyone else taking it in April in Chicago? Maybe all of us can encourage each other regardless what city we live in.

Im new to dialysis, 6 months in after 15 yrs in Med-surg....It's busy, bit a different busy. It's growing on me!!! Trying to stick with it at least a year then maybe do float pool nursing in dialysis. I do love being off every Sunday though!!!!!!

I would love to see this happen!!!!!!!

I read alot of the post asking about finding jobs in Texas. Im from Chicago with hopes of eventually moving to Dallas, but i'm skeptical with all the post about having a hard time finding lobs. Is it just new grads having problems or what. Im an Rn with experience. I was just wondering what is really the deal? Can someone please inform me?
