Nurses are the backbone of VA, and with all that they do for Veterans, we’re proud to embrace the next generation of nurses as they join us in our mission of serving those who have served.
From emergency departments to intensive care units, from Community Living Centers to outpatient clinics (and everywhere in between), our nurses stand ready to offer support, concern and care.
Since we are the largest employer of nurses in the nation, VA is the place for you to begin your nursing career.
Part of our commitment to training and developing the next generation of nurses begins with our academic affiliations. These collaborations between VA and the country’s finest nursing schools provide students with clinical experiences that specifically address the unique needs of Veteran population and prepare them to excel in careers at VA.
VA also offers numerous opportunities to help you learn how to care for Veterans and join our ranks. Whether you need a scholarship to help you pay for school, training to learn the VA way, or support to further your career, we’re here to help.
