Hey Everyone!I just wanted to know if any of you have applied to the VA Palo Alto New Graduate Program. I was wondering if any of you had any of your references contacted or if you had any job offers. I was blessed to have the opportunity to interview, but i'm in limbo as to what the next step is. If any of you know any deadlines, let me know! Thanks!

apatiag7 9 Posts Sep 1, 2016 Ahh I see. I called HR and asked them if they made their decisions already and they said that the deadline to hear back from them has been pushed back to September 9th so if you haven't heard back from them by then, you were probably not chosen. Hoping you get a call
cestlavie93 4 Posts Sep 2, 2016 Congrats on the job offer apatiag7!!! What number did you call to get in touch with HR? Has anyone else who's applied for Med-Surg received a call back yet??? I turned my application in on 8/1/16 and they JUST now emailed me back last week saying that they received my application. I would expect that there would be a lot more applicants applying for Med-Surg which is why the process is taking so long.
apatiag7 9 Posts Sep 3, 2016 I called nurse recruiting. I dont know if i can put a number in our post. I googled "VA palo alto mountain view center" and there's a number that shows the number of nurse recruiting on the bottom of the page.
lelaye 2 Posts Sep 3, 2016 Congrats on your job offer!! I received an email just last week stating that my application has been referred. No interview yet. Can I ask how long did it take to get an interview after your application status has changed? Did they contact your references and do you have any previous experience at the VA? I emailed the nurse recruiter with no response and every time I call, I can't get through. I will try again after labor day.
