I'm just going to share my current experience with the VA process. I started the VA process in Med Surg. The job closed on 11/05, got an interview on 11/26, got a tentative offer on 12/03, had physical, blood draw, and finger prints on 12/09, finished VET PRO on 12/12. Now I'm just anxiously waiting for my references to return paperwork, who is a heavy amount for a current and ex - boss to complete.
