Thanks for your response. I will keep all this in mind and hope for success. I figured there would be an extensive background check anyhow. My hope is that the process is a bit quicker than I've heard. Thanks again and pray my success.

Seasons greetings everyone. I have an interview with the VA in a few days. Does anyone have any advice on how to prepare? Thank you for any input.

I am in a similar position. However the advice I received from an employment center was, instead of bullets, rewrite my position descriptions in paragraphs with headings for each major task. They said bullet-style job description was outdated. I ha...

Wow, couldn't have said it better! You spoke so many truths, things you know deep inside are true but no one seems brave enough to admit. You try to find out if you're the only one who feels that way, buy others deny they do, leaving you feeling li...

The cost and length of the course spend on whether you have any credits to transfer. It will take me 18 months at about $500 per credit plus other fees.

I am currently attending. I just started but so far things are going smoothly. If you have never done an online course before, it can seem complicated to navigate the different area on the site, but my graduation team was very good at guiding me thr...

Hi everyone. I, too am lookng into the SUNY Delhi RN to BSN online program. I have some credits towards my BSN from SUNYIT Utica/Rome. However I was told that that they may not all transfer. I sort of thought that as long as it was within the SUN...

I have been living in Germany for over a year now and have not had the good fortune to be offerred a job as yet. I also received a no reply email a while back, but nothing else. I was starting to lose hope. Thank you so much for your post. It rea...

Oh wow, I would so love to work at Landstuhl. I have sent my resume in and am still waiting. I live in Germany now moe than a year as a military spouse. However I do not seem to have any luck. I pray someone will have mercy. :)

I am very glad to see this post. I too would be grateful to get any info about this topic. Thanks for all who reply and to the original poster. I will also share any info I gather. P.S I did start the application for UOP, but had second thought...

i probably would not have mentioned it if it were not directly asked of me on applications. once again, a very good example of being stuck between a rock and a hard place. you know, maybe i am just naive, but here is a prime example of a situation ...

Hi, I read the postings here and wished I had read them before I was terminated. I was ganged up on at work by my fellow nurses and my nurse manager. I played into their hands by letting it known that I was suspcious of a consipracy. I also had a r...

Thanks to the one who asked this question and many thanks for the response. This is similar to a question I had posted earlier this morning. I think maybe I have my answer from your reply to the other user's question. However I will repost my ques...

Hi everyone. Please help me decide if I want to take this job I was offerred. It is in an 8-bed inpatient hospice center, staffed with 1 RN , 1 LPN and 2 NA's. I will be the sole RN on the floor. I have never done hospice nursing, but have 4 yea...

Hi everyone. Blessings to all. This thread is well needed, thanks for starting it. I have pretty much the same question. Can someone please answer this query? What is the likelihood of travelling successfully if you have a family? Has anyone ever don...

Hi everyone. Can someone please address this question. Can PPN cause tissue damage from extravasation/infiltration. Can you also point me to any literature I can read regarding this. Thank you very much.

I happen to be in the same boat as RNDIVA. I was Med/Surg, Tele, Clinic nursing before, now I wish to do Mother/Baby. I have an interview for a job on a mother/baby unit. The first thing the recruiter asked me is whether I have any mother/baby exp...

Hi all. I currently live in NC and have worked for a VA here for 15 months. It looks like we may be PCS-ing to Fort Campbell, KY. Anyone able to provide info on the post housing situation and nearest VA hospitals, in case I need to transfer? Would g...

4ZBirds, your VA sounds an awful lot like my VA. I have been there less than one year as well, and I have seen at least 5 RN's and a few LPN,s resign. I feel like I am right behind them. I truly am shocked at the way things are. It is not only on...

I finally heard conc retely that I now have a job with the VA. I was given a start date, at last. It took about 1 1/2 months to complete the process. It never actually took me that long to get a job before:chuckle . Anyhow, thank God, I start soo...

Can someone please share the difference between a VN, AD and a GS Pay Plan? I noticed that the VA nurses do not follow the GS pay plan. Are they stilll considered civil servants? Any comments. Thanks very much.

It is all quite interesting to read the comments. I just applied at the VA Fayetteville, NC. Here's hoping I get in. I only have an ADN, and am part-way into my BSN. I am not enrolled at this time. I sure hope it is not as terrible as it seems. ...
