I just received my final offer and salary after a long process but it was definitely worth the wait. I am a LVN with 15 years experience and the starting salary was greattttttt! I was surprised it was so good. I am so glad that I did not give up. LVNs are usually paid between $14-20 in the private sector but the VA pays wayyyy more. I can't wait to start. I feel that even though I have been a LVN for 15 years, I am finally starting my career in a job that appreciates my experience and finally pays me what I am worth.
