I do not know where you are interviewing and what program you will be in. Just read the original posting of mine and know that it holds for every ward. The mandating part will apply differently per ward or program.

Be very leery of the culture and the state of apprehension at the hospital. 1. Impending labor negotiations 2. DOJ scrutiny and possible consent decree 3. Possibility of many mandated shifts 4. Unbelievable amount of management layers

I submitted my transcripts uploaded with my application on USA Jobs. The big hang up is scheduling a courtesty physical at my current area VAMC. I have already done my electronic fingerprints. The other process is transpiring across the continent at another VAMC. I could be blocking for two positions at the same time.

Well, they are having me block for the position now. I was electronically fingerprinted and scheduled a courtesy physical after submitting Vet Pro. Some of my references have been contacted. I was told that once I block and get a salary, I can give my two weeks notice and have a specific start date.

I was just notified by the HR of one of the two site interviews completed four days ago that I have been accepted for the position pending a physical and "blocking." I understand this is a standard process and can take a couple of months. Is it not unheard of to get another offer after the first initial acceptance and carry both positions to the point of a salary offer and then decide between the different offers? I am new to the VA and a job hopping RN for the past 18 years. I would appreciate input.
