VA Palo Alto New Grad 2013 Fall Program

[BlurrrRN]

Hi Guys,

I'm new to this board, but also a new graduate RN who recently applied for this New Grad 2013 fall Program. Did anyone else apply?

Happy Monday :)

Hi all. I emailed HR and final selections are supposed to be made by September 5th. They also mentioned that if you don't get a call by September 6th by the nurse recruiter or HR then that means you weren't selected for the position. USAJobs will update at the end of September. Good luck to everyone that interviewed and to those who may still be waiting for one!

They usually do leave a message if they call.

Good luck everyone.

Does anyone know much about this new grad program? Or the VA at Palo Alto in general? I can't really find any information online or any feedback from people who have gone through this program. If anyone knows anything please let me know! I will really appreciate it!

Both nurse recruitment and HR have been making calls to those selected this week and last....just as an FYI! :)

Did you get a call?

[HopefulRN56]

OOo Did you get selected? If so, which dept?

[HopefulRN56]

By the way---they should've checked references by now, right?

[nikky55]

Yea I think they made all the calls to selected candidates by now. I got mine last week.

Hi Nikky55, your offer call or reference calls?

[NewlyMintedRN]

Yes, reference and offer calls were made. I believe my references were called on Thursday by the hiring manager, nurse recruiter called me on Friday, and HR called Tuesday. They moved very quickly once I finished interviewing!
