I'm applying for a California department of corrections RN position. There's a lot of steps, and I'm hoping I don't miss any when I mail it in.
1)I did the online self assessment, and I passed. My list and rank was given, saying I could apply for vacancies,
2)I filled in the standard application form
3)made a copy of my license
the job application checklist only ask for the standard application form and copy of my license. do i need to include a copy of my resume or cover letter as well? it doesn't ask for it?

At this point you only need to send in the documents they request (std678, copy of license). You will want to bring your resume/cover letter/portfolio/etc to your interview after they process your application.

do you know how long it takes for them to contact you for a job, after sending everything in?
It can take anywhere from 2-3 months. I just got a job interview after I sent in my application 2 months ago for the prison. but I recently took a full time RN job at a local hospital, so I will need to cancel the interview. i don't want to burn bridges since I just got hired a few months ago, so I'm going to stay at my job for 1 year then look into correctional nursing again.
