  12. Crazy idea for an RN?

    NursePamela replied to DaddyM's topic in Government, Military

    I can see your frustration. As a USPHS nurse can you apply for anything on USAJOBS? The NIH has nursing positions available. Can you apply for VA jobs that are posted on USAJOBS and still stay with...

    NursePamela replied to wumpus's topic in Government, Military
