thanks a lot bro.

Salinas sounds cool, but I have a friend who is a CO out there, and he says that there isnt much to do around there. Oh well..

OMG, I work in the midwest in a hospital prison unit and I make about 5,000 /mo before taxes for 36 hours/wk which is nothing compared to what you guys are talking about.

I am so jealous of your pay! If I ever move out west, I will be looking for a job in the prison system, that is for sure.

Good for you guys!

i bet however you can still buy houses for less than $200,000 in the midwest.
450,000 gets a beater here, in a bad part of town.
I take home 60K as a LVN, and salary wise i don't qualify for a $400,000 house.
Lucky my credit score is 780 and i will be a RN (pray for me) in a few weeks.

Hello,

How do you specifically apply to work as an RN in the California Corrections system? Are there any special qualifications required for a new RN grad? How long does the applicatin/hire process take?

Thanks for any help in this.
