Va Hiring Process 2019

[futurecrnasla]

I applied for the ED on 1/2/19 the job announcement closed on 1/9/19. My application was referred on 1/10/19. I was emailed about interview on 1/14/19. My interview was on 1/21/19 where I was interviewed by 5 people and had 25 minutes due to a lot of interviews they had to get through. They asked about 6 questions and gave a 10 question quiz that was not used against me. I was emailed on 1/26/19 that they would like move further in my interview process and have 3-4 of my references to email them. My references have emailed them and I have not heard anything back. For people who have been through this process is it likely I have the job since they asked for my references? What is the next step?

Hello everyone , I applied last august for a LVN opening at my local VA clinic. Got an email interview confirmation for Dec. 2nd, 2019. Next day after interview the hiring manager (I’m assuming since he was one of the people that interviewed me) Called me saying that they want to move forward with me. He checked my references within two weeks after the interview (right before Xmas) it’s Jan 13th I contacted him last Tuesday for updates & he asked if the VA had contacted me yet? Which I responded “No” , He said he would check in or check and he follow up with me the next day But he has yet to...I want to contact him but I also don’t want to be annoying? but he did call me an impressive nurse lol and to have my eyes on the prize? Now I’m so stressed... any advice?

I currently work for the VA. It's a long process. Send in your references and wait. That's how it works, but it's worth it.

Hi, I sent them references with supervisors name and phone number; however, they are asking now "reference letters" from my previous employers? Is this a new policy at VA hospital. Anyone heard of this?
