VA versus GS position

I currently have a tentative offer for a GS position with MEDDAC at a large military hospital in Texas and have been offered a position at the VA nearby. Both will be on a medical\surgical floor but there is a difference in the population served. The GS position will include pediatrics. I was wondering if anyone has worked at either or both and what they preferred about each one, benefit wise etc. I have a tentative salary offer for GS 10 step 2 but the VA has only told me that with my BSN I would definitely start as a Nurse 2. Any tips are appreciated.

    Congrats!! I always hear that the VA is the better of the two, but I have only worked GS after getting out of the Army. Either way, the benefits are great. Have you looked at other factors like schedule/shift? Commute?
