Any of you members work for L.A. County? If so, can you give me some info on what the civil service interview consists of?

Thanks.

It is a normal interview for the department in which you want to work. It is called "civil service" interview because working at a county facility in an underserved area and is considered "civil service." But it's just your normal interview - they ask you questions pertinent to the position you are hiring for - most times by a panel (manager, supervisor, staff nurse), that's how mine went anyway.
hope that helps.

Prior to the interview you take a drug calc test. At our facility you are interviewed by a couple of random nurse managers with questions generally pertaining to delegation and decision making. Unless your answers are crazy i.e the doc orders 10 times a normal dose and you'll give it cause he says to, you'll get a second unit specific interview with a nurse manager who is actually interested in hiring you. As for the civil service part, we're county so after your 6 month probation it's really hard to fire you unless you're dangerous!!!!! Good luck!
