   VA JOB AMBULATORY CLINIC

   JENFKB replied to H to the R dizzle's topic in Government

   I got into the VA as a new nurse, so it is possible! I think you have a great chance to get it especially having your BSN vs ADN. Working for the VA is the best! Good luck!

   VA HBPC RN

   JENFKB replied to jhdoublin's topic in Government

   We work 9-hour shifts with every other Friday off. I have always thought four 10 hour shifts would work out well but have never asked if I could switch.

   VA JOB AMBULATORY CLINIC

   JENFKB replied to H to the R dizzle's topic in Government

   I think you have a very good likelihood of at least getting an interview! Make sure to study Performance Based Interview (PBI) questions as these will be the bulk of the interview. The process is long, so definitely keep your current job.

   VA JOB AMBULATORY CLINIC

   Go with VA! Even if your first job within the VA is not what you want it to be it's good to get your foot in the door now. There are many new positions that are going hybrid or full time remote. I have been with the VA for 7+ years and am working in Home Based Primary Care (half remote and half patient care). Hope this helps!

   VA Nurse Pay Scales

   JENFKB replied to kristykat's topic in Government

   Education, projects, leadership, years of experience, etc. I don't think there is an exact formula it all depends on how well you write your 9 dimensions and who's reading it. I am not a member of the board though, so this is just from my experience.

   Post-Masters Certification vs Advance Practice Nursing

   JENFKB replied to PMHNP2023's topic in Post Graduate

   Hi MALR, I really enjoyed the program! The best part is that you can do all the assignments ahead of time. I wound do most of the work the first 2-3 weeks and then cruise the rest of the quarter. Staff were always available and navigating the online courses was easy. I also really love the quarter credit system vs semester credits. I will say, I have not found a job in Informatics, however I am limited because I would like to stick with the VA. Good luck!

    JENFKB replied to RNeef's topic in Government

    Hi! I'm interested to know if you got the job or not? I am considering applying for a VA Informatics position in Nashville. I currently work for the VA, so I can say if they call your references, you are usually in good shape! Look forward to hearing about your experience.

    VA Nurse Pay Scales

    JENFKB replied to kristykat's topic in Government

    As a new grad (BSN), you are going to start at that level. I don't think there is anything you could have done because you don't have experience. What you can do now is focus on getting your Nurse 2 by joining committees, doing in-services, projects, etc. Good luck!

    PMHNP Man, Do you mind me asking what VA you work at? I am a PMHNP student currently working for the VA in Home Based Primary Care and am hoping to stay with the VA after certification. How do you like your current role?
