Jim Nicholson, Ambassador to the Holy See, will be taking over as the new Secretary of Veterans Affairs. It appears that this will be the last personnel change in the Bush cabinet associated with the change from term 1 to term 2. Whether or not this is the last stop in this administration for Nicholson (a former RNC chairman and observant Catholic from the swing state of Colorado) remains to be seen.
UPDATE: By "last personnel change" I mean that VA is apparently going to be the last slot to open up - but to my knowledge not all of the new cabinet nominees have been named yet. And of course several key non-cabinet slots remain open too (Deputy Secretary of State, UN Ambassador ...).
