2. Hiring Freeze

4. Hiring Freeze

   xkc3158 replied to Nicole82RN's topic in Government

   I'm sorry, I am also in a similar situation. It is incredibly frustrating after getting this far. Hoping that since your offer was extended before Monday you are safe - I'm going to ask my boss tomorrow, hopefully HR can give you a straight forward a...

   This is standard at VA it seems, at least at mine also. Email or call your recruiter and explain your situation, I was able to submit a letter of reference from my current supervisor in lieu of a formal performance appraisal because I did not have on...

7. VA Hiring Process

   Only speaking from my own experience, but it is still early to rule anything out and I think you are still in the running. My nurse manager and HR do not communicate - my manager has zero idea where I am in the hiring process. It sounds like you are ...

   Definitely! I searched back earlier in this thread and someone heard back the same day it went to the board. I think the hold up depends on how fast they get the board approval signed. I've been waiting about 2 weeks, so it must vary. Hang in there!

9. VA Hiring Process

   Just curious for those that have started - any idea how long it took between the Nursing Professional Standards Board meeting and when you were notified of your start date? I have everything done (I interviewed back in August), and was told the board...

    xkc3158 replied to queserasera's topic in Maryland

    Right, I did the same. I just picked the group that didn't conflict. I was told in the admit online info session not to worry about lab now, but they definitely added those groups since last time I checked and I feel better getting a spot in my ideal...

    Awesome! I signed up for classes too. Did you guys also sign up for one of the NURS 317 lab groups that looked like it combined lab, physio-pharm lab, and clinical days?

    Hi there, to clear up about classes. I attended the online info session for admits and this is what they told us regarding BSN (not sure about other programs) and this is for Baltimore campus but similar for Shady Grove. -First go to UMSON website &g...

    You can! Your student ID is found on the site you check you application status on. On that same page, it is the # preceded by an @ sign. You should be able to create a Surfs account that way!

    @summasun016, yes I created a SURFS after we got that email from financial aid. It doesn't say much as it's not updated yet, but I made it so I could see financial info as soon as it is posted. I would do what you said- sign up for CPR, and make sure...

    I'm in the same boat- just send the transcript asap once grades are posted. Hang tight - just called and mailings are going out all this week!
