Never thought that they would do these types of test, I wonder if I am not a bedside nurse, will be reviewing charts only, would I have to do this test as well. Armytwin RN--now sure if you respond to this, have you done the Equip?? I haven't done ...

hihiiihhi, I didn't think of it until yesterday. I emailed HR for dress code policy as I will be working in the office. I would just email HR to ensure you get the correct dress code.

Update- I got the final offer with 6k below what I made after almost 8 weeks the Board returned the paperwork. I think they like to start orientation at the beginning of a pay period..that's my orientation date as well 9/23. N2b8U--have your file g...

Not sure if you saw this thread but it has information that you are looking for-- https://allnurses.com/government-military-nursing/va-hiring-process-657587.html

Va will need official transcript, however with mine, I requested the university to send it as it has all my community college courses on there as well. I didn't have to send the official transcript from the community college. If you have multiple deg...

Wow what an interesting new topic, here is the website that has the shift different and various pay variance from regular shift pay. http://www.va.gov/vapubs/viewPublication.asp?Pub_ID=188&FType=2 ArmytwinRN -awesome links -thank you. BTW after 6...

N2B- hope you will get the tentative offer. Yeah the sequence of the your process is different from mine. I had a tentative offer prior to the completion of the dimensions. I typed up 6 pages and spent alot of time on that since it is also used to d...

Thanks for uploading this info--this is similar to 4 dimensions of nursing. It used to be 6 dimensions of nursing and combined into 4 dimensions. There are extras info that are not on the 4 dimensions. Wow I like this HR, so detailed, mine just asked...

I didn't have to do the ROI and never heard of it either. I had my interview beginning of May, tentative offer mid May and still waiting, and no mentioning of ROI. Let us know more...

LeslieAllen-congrats. I got my tentative offer in mid May and still waiting :)

Grateful-glad you decided to take the offer. First you will enjoy the new experience, very rewarding to be able to coordinate everything that you never thought you would as a nurse. I love learning about the insurance aspect that I never know as a b...

I had CPHM (combined CPUR +CPUM) by Mckesson in '08. My facility paid for it and it is 2 day class and you take the exam at the end..not hard. I have searched for ur job and most prefer CPUR or CPUM (which is CPHM).

There is a CD with all possible questions, super helpful for me. I only had hospital cm when I took it so it was hard when it gets to rehab/worker's comp stuff. My suggestion is focus on the ethical questions, if they haven't changed since 2010, th...

I haven't worked for them, but have friends who worked for them. BCBS have bonus at the end of the year, with nice 401k benefits after so many years of service. The medical insurance at Humana is not great per my friend. Both have potential to work r...

Not sure if the company refers to CM as complex CM--if it is, basically, episodic cm is patient load that you follow in short term and complex cm (assuming the company refers to cm as complex cm) -where you follow patients longer, likely chronic dise...

ninna6--Hope this will help you. I was a medsurg RN, then life changes, need mon-friday work, landed a case manager job/now I think it is more appropriate care coordinator. I didn't know what it was, I just need the hours. After being a cm in the h...

Agree with Armytwin--It doesn't hurt to start networking. It also provides a real experience with the VA and see if you like to work for them later as well.

Same here, I requested the university to send it directly to HR when HR requested which was after the tentative offer was given. ArmyTwinRN-yeah..Congrats. It was 2 hours for me and 1hr drive each way..so it was 4hrs total..long day. I never had an...

The local VA called me and they said it will take about 1 to 2 hours. Exactly, they want it to be done at a VA center. Certificates ACLS/BLS-definitely, my job description did not need that. Certificates are anything you entered in vetpro--ICU/MEDsu...

It was about 2 weeks after my interview that I got a tentative offer.

I have 12yrs, but all of it from same place. Certificates can prolong as well. With my job, there are different department in HR that is involved in the verification. If your references take long to respond, that could be a barrier. One of the cert...

I am sure it will take more than a month for vetpro pending on how many certificates you have. I got an email from them cause they couldn't verify one of the certificate to provide additional info. Mine file went to the board and HR said it will tak...

mwn-rn26--I am in the same boat as you..I have a tentative offer in orlando...they called me to do a pre-emp physical, told them that I won't since I don't have know if I am offer an official job...so I sent them the nearest VA in my area which is 1h...

I think it is really hard to guess what level or how much you get pay with the VA especially the pay range is wide 40s to 90s (the job that I applied for), until they review your certifcates/degree/experiences. I just completed my dimensions--6 pages...

I think whatever is added to Vetpro, they have permission to check for verification. All my references were contacted via email/fax/phone with reply to VA via email/fax/phone. I was very closed to my references as I asked for their permission prior ...
