i haven't applied to the va before, but i do know where to find them. all federal jobs are listed on their own search engine at www.usajobs.com. there's a quick search feature on the home page where you can enter "nurse" in the job title/key word box and st. louis (or any other city) in the location box. that will bring up all federal nursing jobs in st. louis. you can also do an agency search and search just for va jobs. hope this helps!
