Va onboarding

Specializes in CARDIOVASCULAR CRITICAL CARE.

Hello everyone. I am just wondering has anyone been hired at the VA and not done dimensions? I am being asked to just update my resume to reflect my leadership accomplishments. There was some talk of dimension but I was told to do this instead. I was told with tentative offer they would like to expedite the process for hiring. But what threw me was I was asked for pay stubs from my current employer. Has anyone ever heard of such. I assumed this was because they were going to try to low ball me and wanted to see what I make currently. Any insight?

I would think they want to make a tentative offer of what you make now. The tentative offer is not made by the nursing board but by others in HR. When you update your resume, but in as much as you can about leadership, things you did in your unit. Also include numbers.

Thanks but it was stated that the pay stubs are for the final offer!!! It just makes no sense. I currently am in middle management(supervisor/bed flow) The potential job is a nurse manager of a tele unit. I have been away from direct bedside for almost 5 years in this role, so have no numbers to show. And when you say speak about leadership on resume what exactly are they looking for do you know? My role right now encompasses so many aspects.

If you can/will write to their nine dimensions of practice, as outlined by the Professional Standards Board (NPSB), in their format, that may help organize your presentation and increase your chances of a higher boarding.

See the definitions and example of format here: Nine Dimensions of Nursing Practice: Template for VA NPSB (Nurse Professional Salary Board)

Good luck!
