How long after it was "referred" did it take to get an interview? Do you have veteran preference too?

I was referred on the 15th, and I had the interview in the first week of Dec. I am a veteran, but I did not apply for preference. I did add my DD214 with my supporting documents. How about you? 

I have eight applications submitted for various nursing positions. Four have been referred, the earliest was Dec. 2nd and no further email since then. I know it is a long process. Sounds like your interview took place quickly.

I did claim veteran preference. For me working at the VA and staying at my current employer would be two great careers. My mother was a military flight nurse and I have several other family members who are veterans. Continuing my sense of service in this way would be fulfilling.

I also applied for various RN positions, referred to managers for them, and only received two interviews. The first I did not get the position, the second was for the new grad program, in which I am still waiting for any updates. ? I was fortunate to receive the first interview as I graduated back in May with only an ADN. I am, however, working on my MSN. ?

Thank you and your family for your sacrifices. I hope you hear back soon!
