VA Palo Alto?

Published

Specializes in Emergency, Trauma, Critical Care.

Anyone work there? I know the chance of me getting hired there is a snowball chance's in he!! but I figured I'd give my best shot anyway. I have about 2 1/2 years critical care experience, completed my BSN recently. I would love to move home near my mom. Honestly, it'd be a lifesaver right now for me and my family in more ways than one.

I'd appreciate any advice or knowledge from someone who has worked there recently or gone through the interview process.

Thank you!

Why do you say No chance in Hell? You never know. But if you have experience why not apply to surrounding areas if it's the Palo Alto area your interested in.

I believe even for experienced nurses it's very hard to obtain a position in the bay area. I've applied to va as first choice but we will see.

No I'm at UC Davis medical center in the ER. Sacramento is much more affordable. It's really hard too get a job on northern California even with experience. I had to use connections, my experience and it still took about 6 months to land a job.
