all I have to say is that I've got a brother that has worked his way through the VA here in California as a RN. He has a degree in nursing and two Masters in gerontology.

I've talked to his friends who are nurses who work at the VA here in California.

I'll bet they'll disagree with you. I've never met a more group of caring people in their lives.

I've even had them get a friend's father properly cared for after being tossed from private hospital to private hospital, until the VA stepped in and took him off all the unnecessary medications that the private hospitals put him on. The man is finally lucid for the first time in his adult life.

Everyone's experience will vary.
