In VA facilities around the nation, there are inspiring stories of selfless service and dedication to our mission of serving Veterans. VA nurses routinely give their time and talent to care for our Veterans, and it is through their efforts that we continue to provide the highest quality health care.
Whether it’s taking their VA training into dangerous battle zones or following through on a childhood desire to serve others, VA nurses have a lot to offer. They are the backbone of our care, the ones we rely on every day to make sure the care we provide is exactly what Veterans deserve: the best.
“Every Veteran who walks through the doors or that I talk to on the phone, I consider them to be my Veteran,” said nurse Satoris Goode. “Whether I am managing a patient over the phone, in my office, or walking a Veteran to their desired location, I strive to help them and meet their needs.”
“Our patients need and require our caring and empathy,” said nurse and Veteran Joe Herndon. “VA health care isn’t all about numbers. It’s about the people who gave so selflessly to our nation.”
