VA New Grad Residency 2015

U.S.A. Washington DC

Published

Hi there! I was accepted into the new grad RN residency at the VA Washington DC, set to start late August/early September. I am interested in connecting with those that have also been accepted or are currently in their 1 year program. Please say hello! Would love to hear about your experiences and backgrounds! :):):)

Specializes in Critical Care.

I'm glad. I was worried when no one mentioned allnurses.com. I feel like this will be a great 12 month start my career as a nurse. We've started on our first rotation and so far, so good. I'm actually excited. I'll be more excited once I find an apartment!!! :-)

I believe I found the job through indeed.com which directed me to usajobs. Hope that helps!

Hi guys! I was hoping you could tell me more about how your first year of the nurse residency program at the VA went. Was it Monday-Friday? Did it feel like nursing school again or did you enjoy the rotations? Thank you!!

Hey guys! I'm at a VA in South Carolina. Just finished my second day of orientation. So many presentations... I'm brain dead and pretty sure I might get a DVT from sitting in a chair for 8 hours. LOL. We have about 2 weeks total of orientation... 3 days of general orientation and the rest is specifically nursing orientation. Needless to say, I might go crazy. I just can't wait to be out on the floor and doing things!!!

Hi, aprilsunshine! How was your first year of the VA nurse residency? I am hoping for more information. I was recently accepted into one which is exciting but wanted feedback from those who have gone through it!

Hi biopsychmajor! I was hoping you could tell me about your experience during the VA new grad program. I can’t find anything on this website about anyone else’s experience with this program. Feel free to message me directly as well! Thanks!
