Correctional Facility

I don't think the Dept of Corrections in Calif. hires LVN's and RN'S. I think they require all nurses to become a combination of correctional officer and nurse in order to work. I forgot what they called it. Hopefully, someone in Calif will let us know more information. Check the website

Does anyone know any correctional facilities in California that are hiring LVN's and how to apply?

By the way hi guys! I introduced myself in the other category so my whole history is on there, it will help you guys know my status as of right now. I have alot of respect for all you guys.

when I was in school about to graduate the dept of correctional came to our school trying to recruit us. They pay really good, but you have to pass certain tests. I think you also have to go through some kind of training. They also told us it takes about 6 months to process your application. I am from California

I am a student vocational nurse and live in San Francisco. Almost every week in the Sunday edition of the San Francisco Chronicle, there is a big ad from the CA Department of Corrections for RNs/LVNs with nice starting salaries. I have visited their website, and it is my understanding that you can apply for a position with the CA Dept. of Corr. 6 months prior to your graduation date. I too, am interested in working in this field when I graduate. Good Luck!

Yes they hire nurses with the undertanding that they-the nurses will be trained to be part correctional officer/nurse. I was told that they don't hire people who just want to be LPN's or RN's period. Yes I have heard that they pay very well with great benefits Best of luck to you! :balloons:
