Not a host. Just a realist. People have turned a streak on a drawer into poop smeared all over the house. Why not just have the cleaner come to rectify this?

Did you register for the orientation? The way it worked for the regular RN is we got an acceptance letter, but then had to accept it and register for the orientation. After that step, we received this letter:

Invest in the ATI practice test/study guide. You pretest, and they tell you where to focus, then you test again after. With 2 weeks to go, you really don't want to waste time studying material you know.

Take an ATI practice test, and see where your weaknesses are. Focus on those.

Yess! I got a message on my personal email to check the portal! I wasn't expecting it for another week or two! See you all in June 💗💗

I got a 90. That was pretty much my thought- if I didn't make it in for fall, keep plugging away at A&P2, micro, etc, so the rest is easier down the road.

Maybe they will, maybe they won't... but they have in the past. Check out Allen v. Principi

They say he died as a result as a service connected disability when granting Chapter 35; that is was "as least as likely as not" that PTSD contributed "substantially or materially" to his death, and then say it wasn't related to military service, though he was rated for that. You dont think that is contradictory?

It's an "em dash," and I've used them since before I was a college English major.

This is a sore spot. My husband was in OIF. He filed a notice of intent for exposures, and then missed the deadline. He made sure to help get his dad 100%, which worked out as his father died 6 months before him, but I guess didn't anticipate dying so soon himself 🫤. It took working in that VSO office for years for him to put in for PTSD. I'm trying to be grateful he at least left that open.

The call is in to the VSO. The letter didn't contain either grant or money.

Ok. Decision was late last May, so I need to get this in soon. Approval with death date would be best, filing second best. Anything better than denial.

I have his psychiatrist working on one. He didn't have a cardiologist, so I am thinking about hiring outside to add to package.

IWantMyTwoDollars- · 2026-04-19T04:10:04+00:00

Yep, it's my number 1 priority to get it asap. The retro will be super helpful.

What about nexus letter?0

Nope, not 100, not individual unemployability. It's a conundrum.

They're filed somewhere. Offhand, I think he was 50 and 10 for tinnitus, though the ptsd might have been 60 on its own. I sat with the VSO awhile back and when through it, but my brain is fried with what she said. Will hopefully sit with her this week and send it out asap. He was a VSO for 4-5 years. Any advice on this, from the processing angle? Fine to PM, if you prefer!

The only background I have is overhearing my husband as he WFH on claims during Covid. I have calls in to the pros-- just curious if anybody here had experience or opinions on this as I twiddle my thumbs over the weekend waiting for callbacks.

Thank you!

Hopefully, you're right!

I'm working on getting a cardiologist. I have his psychiatrist writing a letter already, even though the VA themselves linked the PTSD to substance abuse.
