worked with a nurse today in corrections whom applied and was granted snaffle loan forgiveness, she said hardly anyone applied in 2010

one suggestion is to fly into reno and rent a car. high desert is about 1.5 hours from reno on 395. the forecast looks like good weather for fri.

hi wendy, i am working at high desert and just interviewed there in dec. new hire. bring 3 references into with you names and phone numbers. they like acls. you will interview with 3 people. the don(head of nursing) and 2 supervisors. they are all really. really nice. read the corrections interview thread!!!! good luck!!! i relocated from marin 300 miles away but i like it here.

hi, i never interviewed with vacaville. i interviewed with cdcr. high desert but will answer any questions i can except i dont know how to message either

where are you interviewing?
-
hi, i am a new grad 05/10. i believe i got an 85 the only experience i had outside of clinicals was a volunteer camp nurse this summer. .one of the first questions they asked is do you have acls. so if you get to the interview stage get acls before interview. i would concentrate on rural prisons such as high desert ( where i got hired) jamastown ect... the bayarea( san quentin, salinas) is only hiring out of the first tier, so hr told me. i dont know what your chances are but without trying your chances are zero. i also got two calls from rural hospitals this week asking for interview but i was already committed to HDSP. think about places where not alot of people want to relocate too. good luck! 2 girls in my orientation are also new grads or old-new grads from 08!!!

OMG congratulations!!!!!

Hi, i havent heard and check junk mail everyday too

I have to move too, although i loved my prior home. i really like it here also. its an adventure. that is why it took a while to respond. i interviewed 12/1.they contacted my references the next day and pre-employment offer on 12/17. ask at the interview what the next course of action is. Good Luck!!!!!

Thank you! I was interviewed by three people, 2 nursing supervisors and unit manager. I met about 7 others interviewing for the position since they were running behind. I believe they held interviews over two days. Where did you get your request to interview. I cant stress it enough, read the interview thread started by Lorry. also go to her website and click on interview techniques. It is right on the money.

sorry, dont feel bad. they didnt even look at your app. they are getting so many applications they are eliminating people on criteria such as bsn ect... i havent heard yet but i am sure i wont be one of the 8 out of 1200 chosen even with bsn, acls/pals, cum laude, native san franciscan and contacts within sfva. i was told i wasnt qualified for a new grad program on reno. when i called to find out why, i was told they were only taking internal apps.

i am reluctact to give exact questions because i signed a release stating i wouldnt. but i will tell you how i prepared. i think it will be helpful because i got the job as a new bsn grad with no medical, emt, military or corrections experience and all the others i met waiting to interview had psych or medical experience. they asked if i had acls. i do. they want to know if you are flexible, willing to work mandatory ot and willing to follow instructions. for medical questions i studied all the diseases one would expect to find in a prison and triage/ trauma response. my best advice is study the interview thread!!!! it totally prepared me for the interview. i think they also liked i was familiar and wanted to move to that area.
