Phyxius

I know our prison just hired a few more LVN's this past week, and still have a couple registry nurses working as well. CDCR is currently going through a massive re-alignment though so who knows whats coming down the line?

While I strongly agree with the latter part of that statement, I find the first part to be a dangerous generalization. For your own safety, and everyone around you, I would refrain from underestimating the I/P population in that manner.

lol must be nice... Oftentimes the nurses at my facility are kind of left to fend for themselves while the officer's chit-chat in a nearby office. There is this huge "Us Vs. Them" mentality between the nurses and correctional staff, it's rather perplexing.

Every second away from the ocean is painful. Tough choice ^^

Thank you so much for this. Really.

Reading this thread https://allnurses.com/correctional-nursing/common-correctional-nursing-438445.html helped greatly =) Good Luck!

I hope it went well!

I just had my interview a couple days ago, thanks for asking! I feel it went well although it could have been better. I'm a new grad so definitely stumbled over my words when they asked about what experience I would bring... but I feel the rest of the interview went well and I was able to provide correct and well thought out answers to their little quiz they do (at least, in my own opinion.) Now, it's just a waiting game =)

I didn't receive any calls but rather employment notices about two weeks later requesting I submit a std678 employment form... and then about a week after that I received an interview notice letter. Best of luck!

While this is an older thread, thanks just the same for all the info! I'm sure it still bears some, if not much, relevance =D

Would you mind sharing your hiring and interview experience kneal? There are many of us looking for some hints or guidance =)

Actually, I would love some insight into this question as well!

I took mine the 27th of October in Ontario. I had a friend take hers at the same location a week later, and she received her letter on Friday.

mm it's a bit frustrating that some who took the nclex a week after myself have already gotten their results =/ California, why are you so ssslooww?

Congratulations =)
