I have been a corrections nurse (RN) in the California State Prisons as a registry contractor for 2 years. This year the hours cap of 975 hours is being followed at my and to my knowledge, all other cal state prison facilities (I work full time and overtime so I will be finishing my contract in November and will not be eligible for re-hire until July of 2011 at any california state prison facility). I enjoy corrections nursing and am proud of my specialty, so changing employment specialties is not my first option. Due to family considerations taking a full time position within the state with fixed hours or the potential for hold overs is not an option. Can anyone tell me about agencies that work with the county jails in california or the federal prisons here, or even registries that work within other states, (travel is ok with me, my family member can travel with me) I have only called in sick once in two years so my issues do not cause problems with my attendance or work performance, but I do have very important commitments that I can not work around if I was hired for a permanent position. (trust me I would love it if I could, the benefits, hours, and pay are great). Thanks to anyone who can help. I really need to stay employed, I am the sole provider for my family! Thanks again-

Just found the student forum so I posted it there. Didn't mean to waste your time, but if you want to reply here I'd be happy to hear it.

Sorry to bother everyone but I thought someone might know. I recently took the NCLEX PN and had 85 questions. I didn't feel like I did well and although everyone keeps telling me I passed I don't think so. I graduated in May and my school didn't send my original packet in to the board until July:down:, after paying and getting my ATT I couldn't take the exam until 10/6 so I'm still waiting on results. My question is, if I do have to retake the exam, does my school have to fill out any forms again. They were so slow the first time I can see it taking until after the first of the year if they do. If not I would feel much better, then it is just up to me to up my game and get the paperwork in. Hoping someone who had to go through a CA retake can just let me know. There is no clear info on the BVNPT website. Thanks in advance. S
