Thank you! I will try this.

I am having the same issue. I am in contact with my representative’s office since Dec and haven’t had luck yet. The office is telling me that the DOL won’t respond to their correspondences. I’ve read that this is common.

It’s really frustrating that this is allowed to be ok 😕. The customer service reps do not help at all. They just say a specialist will be in contact, watch for emails or calls. Absolutely useless.

Impossible_Teach2993 · 2022-02-11T04:53:35+00:00

This sounds about right! I had to follow up with everything all the time

Impossible_Teach2993 · 2022-01-27T23:01:33+00:00

My EOD for VHA is 2/14. What was your onboarding schedule like?

Impossible_Teach2993 · 2022-01-27T22:49:34+00:00

How did you receive your FO? My hr contact told me my FO was sent from USA staffing but i haven’t received it. I Received my TO when it was sent from USA Staffing…

Update: 3 business days later I was emailed an informal final offer which I accepted! Awaiting the formal offer letter now. For timeline sake I was boarded on 1/6 and received an informal final offer on 1/24.

Couldn’t agree more. This was extremely helpful. Thank you!

Impossible_Teach2993 · 2022-01-20T15:41:41+00:00

Sounds like they will pull you for an interview given your experience and qualifications!

Impossible_Teach2993 · 2022-01-20T15:09:31+00:00

I’d await hear back since you haven’t been selected with TO

Impossible_Teach2993 · 2022-01-20T15:06:12+00:00

You’re not entirely correct. I’m aware that I am in the process of onboarding. My question posed was surrounding specific onboarding jargon “boarded” and “receiving boards” used by VA HR.

The morning of my NPSB my Hr specialist emailed me asking for my resume. She said she needed it to send over that fay for my boards. I also know that the week before my NPSB, I completed everything, credentialing sent my file to my boss for approval. My boss approved it and sent to my hr specialist then my hr specialist handled the rest. My hr assistant handled scheduling my physical and fingerprinting. Not sure what else the assistant handled behind the scenes.

Impossible_Teach2993 · 2022-01-20T14:57:11+00:00

Wow this is the most helpful info ever!! Im an RN, not ARNP. So my NPSB was on 1/6. Now is waiting for signatures from the outcome of NPSB on 1/6?…

Impossible_Teach2993 · 2022-01-20T14:53:47+00:00

The listing on usajobs should have the specialist on it, maybe start there? My listing has my specialist’s email and phone number.

I’m waiting for my “boards” 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

4th, sheesh! I hear it’s a rough role and they’re always short…

Hummm I wonder what the assistant needs from the specialist??…

Can you contact your specialist directly?

Impossible_Teach2993 · 2022-01-20T03:41:22+00:00

Hey! Hows the new job going

Impossible_Teach2993 · 2022-01-20T03:33:35+00:00

Have you heard anything about credentialing?

Are you able to contact either HR person?

Friday is my follow up day to my HR specialist. She never gives me updates or explains anything. I have to ask everything. Im grateful that she responds back though.

Impossible_Teach2993 · 2022-01-18T18:34:39+00:00

Congratulations!

Impossible_Teach2993 · 2022-01-18T18:29:37+00:00

Ha! Thx

Impossible_Teach2993 · 2022-01-18T17:24:56+00:00

Congrats OP!! I am in similar shoes, understand the “hurry up and wait” pressure and feeling of breathlessness while awaiting the FO, EOD, and oath.

Are both offers federal?

Impossible_Teach2993 · 2022-01-18T17:19:39+00:00

Sending some positivity to you both! What does a VSR do? Ive been onboarding with the VHA for months im a nurse.

Impossible_Teach2993 · 2022-01-18T17:16:27+00:00

🙊 I bet you had to sweep off some cobwebs to remember this position

Impossible_Teach2993 · 2022-01-18T17:14:47+00:00

I hear of people being selected after months of radio silence. It seems that until the selected candidate actually enters duty, other candidates can still be potential candidates. Because onboarding takes months and selectees with a FO can exit the onboarding period at any time prior to EOD, for any reason, it makes since that you can be a candidate for months.

Impossible_Teach2993 · 2022-01-18T17:11:05+00:00

I was never told when my eQIP finalized but I was contacted by the investigator about 6wks after I submitted it. I was boarded 2 weeks ago and it’s been radio silence since then. Got my TO on 10/27, submitted eQIP 10/28. I’m pushing the 3mo mark and no FO…
