VA VALOR Interview

I would bring two copies of your resume, cover letter, and maybe clinical instructor evals if you have them. I would expect a lot of situational questions and questions about nursing school and clinical. For example, when was a time that you felt uncomfortable at clinical and how did you deal with it? Also, it may help to have an idea of what units you are interested in, why do you specifically want to work at the VA, etc.

I interviewed for this program last week!! I brought copies on my letter of recs and resume, but they said my application packet was all they needed. But i would still bring them if i were you. It was a panel interview with 4 nurse managers. Similar to any job interview, they had about 10 set questions they took turns asking and they wrote down my response. The questions seemed to focus on leadership experience, prior job experience and why I chose the VA. overall, definitely not a hard interview, but I know each VA runs their VALOR program differently. Just smile and be yourself!! Goodluck!
