VA nurses are in short supply. Unions say Trump’s deferred resignation plan could make things worse

2 hrs ago

The Trump administration’s deferred resignation offer for nurses comes amid severe staffing shortages, affecting over half of the Department of Veterans Affairs facilities. Unions are urging nurses to reject the buyout offer, fearing it will worsen the care for 9.1 million veterans.

More than 80% of VA facilities face critical nursing shortages, with many nurses feeling confused and angry about the offer’s implications.

The Office of Personnel Management has pressured federal workers to accept the buyout, leading to increased stress and uncertainty among VA staff.
