VA Palo Alto New Grad RN Program- Spring 2015

Nurses Job Hunt

Published

Hello everybody. I'm surprised nobody created this thread to date yet. I recently applied to the VA Palo Alto the day of the application cycle ended. I put in a tailored cover letter detailing why I wanted to work for VA and what experiences made me a great candidate for the position, one page resume to summarize all of my experience (even though USAjob says put in a 3-5 page resume detailing all experiences), and the other 5+ forms they needed to have scanned and copied to them.

I got an interview about 10 days after putting in my application for 2 positions at the VA. Both were panel interviews and I basically gave my on the spot answer with little preparation. I got an offer for the unit I wanted, and am now going through the background check. Side note: nurse manager said she was excited to have me start :x3:!

My question to anybody who also got a tentative job offer is did they say when they will give the actual written job offer? How long this background check should take? And do they contact you directly if they need additional information or somehow hit some sort of obstacle?
