  3. VetPro credentialing question

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in Government, Military

    I haven't heard of E-qip...wonder if this is like Vetpro? E-qip hasn't been mentioned to me but the position I applied for isn't at a VA hospital - it's at a VA clinic. I start a job Monday w/an...

  4. Should I consider taking this job?

    Marshall1 replied to BellaRN24's topic in General Nursing

  5. clinic job vs hospital job

    Marshall1 replied to topacio's topic in Nursing Career

    Before you make the leap, would it be possible to work PRN at the hospital until you get a better idea of what is entails? If you didn't have children to consider that would be one thing but the 12 hr...

  10. VA Hiring Process

    Marshall1 replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    79Tango...does the VA offer orientation once a month, weekly, biweekly? I still have not heard zip about the job but was curious if once an offer is made if starting orientation is quick. I was told...

    Marshall1 replied to kat,rn's topic in General Nursing

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in Government, Military

    Let's hope so because, like you, my current employer was notified and I had not informed them I was looking elsewhere..I work PRN and was scheduled 10 days between now and the end of Feb. I was...

  17. My many VA applications finally paid off!

    Marshall1 replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Government, Military

    Congrats on the interview - as you will see from other threads some of us are in the process of getting hired (hopefully) - its a long process and everything has to be as they request (forms submitted...

  18. VetPro credentialing question

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in Government, Military

    I was able to get in touch w/one person in HR yesterday. All she would tell me is she was waiting for "a couple more things" before all of my credentialing process was complete and that the VETPRO...

  20. VetPro credentialing question

    Marshall1 replied to Marshall1's topic in Government, Military

  22. Have you ever heard of an attendance policy like this???

    Marshall1 replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    I also work psych and am new to it...I can tell you that there seems to be a lot more "flexibility" with call outs/no shows on this unit than any other place I've ever worked..similar to LTC around...

  23. I feel stuck!!!!

    Marshall1 replied to Tori11's topic in General Nursing

    It's not easy to get into a hospital anywhere these days..many have hiring freezes or are only willing to take those w/tons of experience/certifications etc. I don't know about the hospitals where you...

    Marshall1 replied to lisa0615's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Since you have expereince as an aide and an LPN what about staffing agencies? Hospice? Home health? Think outside the hospital/LTC arena. Good luck - I hope you find something

    Marshall1 replied to Grannyof6's topic in LPN to RN

    GO FOR IT!!! You said you needed something to do - this would be a great thing - inmprove yourself AND you will be of much value to those less experienced. I know "young" people in their 80's and...
