4. Veterans administration 72/80

   tt2323 replied to Carrie Johnson's topic in Government

   From the retirement standpoint the VA is 3 tier. So with less hours = decrease in TSP/% of match and your contributions. Lower high 3 salary number as well. Could be substantial but doesn’t seem to be too bad.

5. Reserves

   tt2323 replied to rubyagnes's topic in Government

   Be sure to speak to an AMEDD recruiter. As someone above said a regular recruiter will try to scoop you up. From my experience in the reserves there is very little to no new nursing skills learned. You direct commission with the skills of an RN. GL!
