I got an OTH discharge from the Navy after 4.5 years for possession of steroids and attempting to obstruct justice. 60 days in the brig was also part of the deal. That ended in September 2016. I've been a Psych RN on overnights since then and was quickly promoted to House Charge/Supervisor within 6 months.
I'm moving to another state next summer and would love to apply at the VA. They have psych openings, but I'm wondering if the OTH excludes me from consideration. On the other hand, there's never a lot of competition for acute psych jobs.
Anybody have any experience with this?
