I drive Toyota Camry but my job was like 10 minutes from me and driving was no issue but during the Winter time between snowing/ice these 10 minutes can turn to like an hour. I'm starting new job much better than my current job and worth the drive and its exactly 45 minutes from me so with my Camry I will have no issue till Winter kicks in so I have to get new AWD car. Winter here is really nasty especially in Jan/Feb I don't know how is the weather in North/ south Dakota but temperature can drop to 0 easily in Jan.

Actually I was looking to get Subaru Forster the sport edition . I think this will be the car I'm getting before Winter especially I will be driving long distance in icy/snowy weather. How do you like the Forster?

Hi I live in Ohio and its all highway drive, no traffic or anything, but the Winter here is nasty so I'm taking in consideration the nasty weather during the Winter season.

Hello, I accepted a job about an hour from where I live in a different state and I have no intentions to move from my town at all and I want to invest in a car since I'm driving an older car. For the nurses who commute long distances what is your advice for a car. Thanks

Hi, I'm starting the end of May and my hiring papers seems a permanent not temporary position. I'm looking what kinds of medical insurance I need to choose, if someone have any idea which medical plan is the best please let me know.

Mine was expedited but permanent, I actually did all the steps they needed like Vetpro and everything else.

Yes mine too, they didn't even have the time for the board to discuss grade so HR put me as a nurse II level 12 and I did all paper work including Vetpro in like a week, they send me the firm offer before physical and finger prints which is now a part of the orientation. I'm located in Ohio but the VA that I've applied to is in Detroit which was hit hard with COVID. I will drive an hour from my house to the VA but it's worth it I think and I'm really excited.

I'm sure you will hear something and I would suggest calling their HR. I did that Monday morning and got my offer end o f the day !!

I received an email about my offer yesterday and it includes all the info I need for insurance and benefits and also starting date. I'm going to the VA from a state hospital with good benefits and pay but seriously nothing you can compare to the VA pay and benefits they looks great !

I'm a float nurse and the position that I'm going to is ICU, in the dimensions I basically put many examples of my nursing practice, sometimes I had to repeat the same example for some of the question and sometimes I included like 2-3 examples from my practice, I think floating experience landed me to get nurse ll lever 12 beside that I gave them two recommendation letters from charge nurses that I worked with and also they contacted my current manger and the other two mangers that I've worked with and they put them as my actual references in Vetpro . I got the verbal firm offer over the phone on Thursday and I'm just like you can't wait till Monday to get the email or letter in the mail and on Monday I will also submit my 2 weeks notice for my current employer. Good luck !!

I just provided everything fast to them

I did all the steps. They emailed the references which is my current 3 mangers and all give me a good reference. I done vetpro and nursing dimensions and all of that.

COVID actually expedited my hiring process, I was given the firm offer withing one month from interview. Pay close to 90 k with almost 4 years experience as a float RN

They called me from the VA yesterday and they actually gave me a firm offer very quickly, they said they expedite my process due to COIVD 19. I have 3 years experience in acute care as a float nurse and they hire me as a nurse II level 12 which I'm really happy about and the salary away much more what I was expecting. My hiring process toke less than a month and Vetpro they did it in 3 days but I gave them all my mangers for the past 5 years as a reference.

Hello, Last month I applied at the VA hospital one hour away from me and in different state, anyway I contacted nursing recruiter which she mange to do skype interview with me and another two mangers due to COVID 19 pandemic. My hiring experience looks very different and confusing, in my current job I'm a float nurse and mostly work in the ICU. I did get an offer to work in the VA but they called me three different times telling me that I was selected to be in different unit and finally the called me again and told me that they accepted me in surgical floor, I accepted the offer because it's a good opportunity to work in the VA. The nurse recruiter contacted my mangers for the past 5 years and asked them for reference and she is done with that. Few days after that they send me and email to complete Vetpro and they stated that they're expediting the process due to covid 19 and I completed that in the same day and when I looked at it the next day morning everything was verified including references and education and everything else, the next day they sent me tentative offer in their ICU. I'm so confused about the whole process, is it normal for them to call my mangers and ask them to be my reference? I submitted the same info over an over again and also completed the nursing dimensions like weeks ago and the nursing boarding. How long usually it takes in situations like these to give me the firm offer?
