Hiring process at Napa State Hospital(NSH)

U.S.A. California

Published

Can anyone tell me if the California budget crisis(which happens every year) will affect planned new hires for California state facilities? I assume that there is still a hiring freeze but that we are replacing nurses that have been lost to retirement, etc. I guess I could just call the recruiter and ask....I was told I was a top candidate for a small number of positions at NSH for this fall's hiring and wondering if I should be celebrating or not.

Also, what is the actual hiring process, physical and orientation entail?

Hi maleinnursing,

I had the 2nd interview with ASH on April 15. The ASH hiring coordinator also told me to wait 4-8 weeks for the hiring approval from MH Dept. I'm still waiting for the official offer. The coodinator also told me, just waiting, it's only matter of time to get hired after the applicant pass the hiring interview, nobody get denied before.

Oh Thanks so much man-sd. Atleast i don't have to worry so much. This week is the eight week of waiting, and i was hoping to call next week to ask about my status. Oh well, i'm going to keep waiting. I have an oral interview at PSH for PHN I this friday. I don't even know what to expect. Just revising my PH stuff and communicable diseases. Any imput will be appreciated!!!!! Thanks

Hi,

Any new from your hospital. I just got an letter from my hiring coodinator, she said they are still waiting for State permission to hire new employee for another 3 months

Well I am still wating. Last two weeks the hiring coodinator sent me a form that she said i was suppose to fill but she forgot when i came for hiring interview. I filled it and fax it back to her, and she told me that she is still going through the process. She also said that I should exercise patient. For now i will wait till the end of the month then I will contact her. At present, i got a nursing home RN job. It's ok. Did she say that you have to wait for another three month or what?

The letter explain the current hiring freeze exemption approval process is now taking from 3 to 6 months and that is longer than anticipated. Because I am waiting for almost 3 months so I expect to wait for another 3 months

Hello man-sd, any news from ur side. Just got an offer from coalinga state hospital.

Hi, do you know how can I get in contact with cincin1? I'm new to allnurses and I don't know how to send her an email. Please help

Hy maleinnursing congrats on your new job offering. Question I'm a psych tech and I have to go to my second interview at Napa State, any clues on what to be expect ?

Hi cincin1 I really need your help, I have to go to a second interview to NSH and I don't know what to expect, I know you can't discuss any info about your second interview, but at least can you tell me what to be prepare for? my email is [email protected] thanks :)

Hi Cincin1, I also am very desperate for a job. I have applied all over CA and only Coalinga and Napa got back to me. I have QAP interviews lined up with them. I know you were not working there long but I was wondering what the shifts were like. Did you have back to back 12 hours shifts or were they spaced out in the week? Also, what do you think were major reasons why you were offered the job over other applicants? I am a new grad who is less than optimistic about being hired ANYWHERE after being rejected over and over for not having any experience. Thanks for any pointers you can give me.

Specializes in SNF, Wound Care, Psychiatric.

Hey all. I am new to posting at this website but I was reading all of the comments about NSH. I found out that I just got a job there!!! So excited. I am technically a newer grad. I just have 1 year experience at a SNF. I am going to be starting on program 5 which should be interesting. I know that there are problems at NSH but I am very interested in psychiatric nursing so I am willing to take the risk. If anyone has question on the hiring process just let me know. It took at total of about 6-7 months before I officially got hired.

AmsPRN, please email me asimolotu at gmail dot com. Just found out about NSH. Can you share the process?
