Thanks kktegan! This is great insight. One more question, albeit one that's a little sensitive. Some of my coworkers (who are doctors) remarked that the nursing staff at the VA is a little... apathetic. Some mentioned it was because they "can't be fired," other said it made the culture stagnant. I take this with a grain of salt because I'm a student and have no idea what it's like to work on the floor yet, but did you experience this during your time at the VA?

Hello, and thanks for the replies, everyone. What makes you say that you were able to do more than you would have at another hospital?

Thank you so much for the advice. This is extremely helpful.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can give me some insight on a clinical opportunity. My school has a program where we can do all of our clinicals at the VA Hospital (in Denver). Is this a good idea? I really want to work with vets, but I want to know if it's better to get more clinical exposure in different hospitals, rather than just one. Also, I believe we do our OB/GYN and Peds on different sites. Thanks!
