VA is not a bad way to go. They work...but not too hard. (We couldn't start any scheduled OR cases after 3:30, as they didn't have nursing staffing to cover after 5 pm--ignoring that most of my surgeries take an hour or less to perform.) Relaxed setting. Patients are largely grateful. No insurance hassles. (I fkking hate insurance companies.
) Computerized medical records that actually are fairly good (and tied in to all other VAs in the country). And government job security + pension. You won't be doing much supermodel gynecology at the VA, but hey, save that for your home life.
