Hi, I work at RPC. Have many yrs. of working there besides other state facilites. I can tell you you don't want to work there!! Very demeaning and unnecassry stress for all staff not just nurses. Yes, there is mandated O.T. The Pef union and nurses from state facilities did petetion for no mandated o.t. but if the nurses are charge nurses on the wards and there is no outside agency hired to fill in(had outside agency many yrs. ago for fill in but didn't work out for reasons I'm sure you can figure out) for call ins etc. Then who is going to fill the spot? Some nurses quit before orientation is over or before probation is finish. I wouldn't count on honesty in interview either. I was lied to in my transfer interview. After I started I asked my supervisor why he lied to me. He said I was over qualified for the job and they needed people w/ my experience ad training. I'm close to retirement and when I did try to transfer back out to another facility got bad rep. I've worked closely w/ both SMH psych and RGH. I wouls reccomend either of them. Not trying to be a downer but just want the truth out. Wish I had something like this to for someone to warn me about it. I would have stayed where I was and retired there.
