  1. Question for filling out VA form after interview

    pfchang replied to morglan's topic in Government, Military

    That seems like something that should have been clearly stated before the interview. I agree that it was a waste of time and for you in an MSN/FP program, too? Who has time to waste?

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

    OrTech2RN...They said you were selected the day after you interviewed? That's great. And you were 100% positive you were eliminated Vetpro takes time to process. There is also something called Eqip...

  4. Question for filling out VA form after interview

    pfchang replied to morglan's topic in Government, Military

    I have not heard of the form you are asking about. That seems to me to be what THEY would use to determine where to place you on the salary scale as part of the boarding process. I would call the HR...

    pfchang replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    To so very blessed, I am taking the Ambulatory Nursing Certif exam in April. I didn't get the Intensive CE course bc I couldn't afford it but I did get the newest book and exam questions. I think the...

    pfchang replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    There have been lots of replies with lots of good info for you. I agree with the recommendation to take whatever job you can get as a new grad. If there is any type of orientation program, of course,...

  7. Interview at VA in 2 days, what to wear?

    pfchang replied to morglan's topic in Government, Military

    I don't think it is too formal. It shows professionalism. That's not to say that every guy should go buy a suit for an ICU interview but since you have one, I would wear

    Sample PBI Questions - Performance Based Interviewing (PBI) I would recommend using this info and preparing answers to scenarios like .....give me an example of ______ and how you handled it. I have...

  9. Ambulatory Care Nursing

    pfchang replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Ambulatory nursing is explained briefly in the article at the top of the page. There are many different areas of ambulatory nursing explained in the paragraph called Work Environment. Maybe I am...

  10. Does your office/clinic allow walk-ins to see the nurse?

    pfchang replied to BlueLightRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    But you know, there are situations that have been in place a long time which can be very difficult to change, especially if there is no support from those you report to. I'm not one to give up but it...

  11. VA Nursing, How Long Until You Recieved and Interview Call?

    pfchang replied to ORTech2RN's topic in Government, Military

    My call was about 3 wks after the position closed. Interview was a week later. I started six months later. The VA is not great about notifying you if you are not being considered. I applied for two...

  12. VA Hiring Process

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

    It's only been two days. Give it some time. Things take awhile at the VA although the process for some goes quickly. Veteran points do count in some situations. One RN hired when I was told me her...

  13. Does your office/clinic allow walk-ins to see the nurse?

    pfchang replied to BlueLightRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I think nurse visits can be charged for educational purposes, like DM and anticoagulation teaching. Also for INR fingersticks and resultant dosage education. But I believe the nurse visits can not be...

  14. Does your office/clinic allow walk-ins to see the nurse?

    pfchang replied to BlueLightRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Also nurse visits can be charged for under specific circumstances. Not that you can do this, bluelightRn, or that it would help your situation. But I share this for others' general

  15. Does your office/clinic allow walk-ins to see the nurse?

    pfchang replied to BlueLightRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I don't understand why a secretary would call you for a question he or she could handle. Are there major personality issues in your workplace? Toxic employees? Can you schedule a meeting with your...

  16. VA Hiring Process

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

    The link that ORSuite posted above is what I used to prepare and my interview questions were taken from there. I would suggest thinking about many of the questions and coming up with answers to them...

  17. Ambulatory Care Certification exam

    pfchang posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Has anyone taken this exam recently? I just registered for it. I don't have the newest study materials but do have the previous ones which have been loaned to me from a coworker. Any ideas what is...

  18. What can I expect?

    pfchang replied to meco46's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Very true, Rathyen. And I would add assessment skills for everything from a scraped knee to an MI for the constant walk-ins who don't call first. And anti-coagulation, immunizations, etc, etc,

  19. Ambulatory Care Certification exam

    pfchang replied to pfchang's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Thank you for your response. I didn't realize anything was signed regarding discussing the test but it makes sense. I did order the new book and study questions but dont have them yet. What study...

  20. Does your office/clinic allow walk-ins to see the nurse?

    pfchang replied to BlueLightRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Your office is paying a nurse to do things that clerical/front desk people can do? That is a waste of $$. Maybe you can write up and discuss some workflow adjustments with admin. I would think most...

  22. VA Hiring Process

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

    I didn't have a pharm exam. The med calc exam was not difficult and was reviewed with the group. It was not thrown at us. I had regular new employee orientation for 4 days then about 2 weeks later...

  23. VetPro credentialing question

    pfchang replied to Marshall1's topic in Government, Military

    I'm not sure but I would ask the person who emailed you the VetPro instructions. I was unable to print off all my VetPro info bc my printer wasn't working. You get locked out after you submit, I...
