… should I be surprised to be offered a position that would pay me 215k annually? No start date yet. They will train me for 6 months. 14 pts max. 5x8s. Specialty clinic. VA LA. Are they that desperate? I would take it for sure. What’s your experience? 26 days PTO 13 Sick Time 11 holidays. This is a dream offer. Imposter syndrome is kicking in.

EDIT: I spoke too soon. They rescinded the offer. Back to Indeed! 🥺🥺🥺

New grad here. On my second month of training. Great compensation. I feel like my position is not secured. Signs are pretty obvious. Oh well. I’m just enjoying my time for now. I tell myself it’s a paid training. I’ve set aside 6 months expense savings in case they chop my position.

There’s no security in this market right now.

I’m just glad I’ve also paid off my student loans, car note, and house before this uncertainty. I will be okay. Keep telling myself this.

Anybody here working as an NP at the VA? Can you guys give me an idea what your grade and step is as a new grad or as an experienced NP and which specialty?

I’m a new grad and I have an upcoming second interview. What grade and step should I expect? Would they consider my bedside experience? I also worked as a charge nurse. I know every state has a different pay scale but what about the grade and step for those of you who are working there already?

I know it’s going to be a tough one. I’m sure they have other candidates that are already in house. I’m not a VA nurse so my chance of getting picked might even be lower. Overall, I am thrilled to have been invited for a second interview.

Thank you.
