I have a family member who works for VA as an LPN at a facility that is classified as acute but it more on the LTC side. This person said something to me that I did not pay much attention to at the time but now I am wondering about it. The remark was that staff did not get their expected raise but that people in managment did. What is going on there I wonder. 0 Likes
TazziRN, RN Aug 22, 2007 That doesn't sound right. VA's are different than civilian hospitals and facilities. Things usually happen across the board, if one gets a raise, they all do.I could be wrong, I do not work for VA, but knowing what I do know about the government, it doesn't sound right. 0 Likes

Sometimes rumors get started and continue to snowball. You can bet if they didn't get their raise...the union would be screaming bloody murder!!! 0 Likes
