I agree with you David. That's why I volunteered to work at TTA. I hope I will be OK and gain my experience there. :)

thank you David for your input. We have lots of chest pain ( including the fake ones.. lol) lacerations, seizures, I haven't seen any stab wounds or burns yet maybe it's because it's a minimum facility.

Hi All I was wondering do you need to have ER background in order to be a real good TTA nurse? I'm currently assigned to TTA. Seems like a lot of nurses there have ER background which I don't have. I feel somewhat incompetent and worry about my job performance. Any suggestions? Thanks

Lighmyway, I think you got it. Just relax and they will call you. Yes, I had to call them to follow up with HR to find out what's up cux I was way too anxious about it. Maybe like 3-4 days after I called them, they called me back and offered me a position. I think it's good to follow up, at least they won't " forget" about you ! :) good luck

Hi there, sorry for the late reply. I've been busy. Yeah, I've already started my new job for a week now. I've waited almost a month to get my verbal offer.. it's a state job, it's going to be a long process. Which prison you are going to be working at ?

I was just wondering does CA state prision still have OT for RNs? I known in the past, all RNs used to do many OT like crazy, due to the budget cut, do they still have that many OT nowadys? thanks

Thanks for everyone's reply. Now got it... :)

Hello All, I'm going to start at a prision very soon. I'm a little confused about the dress code. I thought it should be no solid blue, and orange. However, when I received the memo, it stated that " No solid black" on top of orange and blue....so I cannot wear my solid black pants??? Really? I mean I don't mind it, I just dont want to spend more money on my scrubs since all my bottom are solid black thanks

Hi apoppyfield, I have not heard from you back for a while. How's everything going? did you get the job?

Hello Orca, Thanks for your reply. I'm getting anxious cuz i heard state of CA they do run your credit. oh well. I will see. And you are right, bad things do happen to good people.

Hello all, I just received an contingent offer from state of CA prision. I was wondering how long will take them to finish this whole process ( finger printing, and background checking) ? Do they actually check your credit? I'm little nervous about it. thanks for helping.

well. I've never got the inquiry letter from the prison where I had my interview. I just simply applied the position and waited for a long time to get a interview call from them.. Where are you at right now?

Hello everyone, I had an interview 2 weeks ago at one of the CA correctional facility. I know last week, they had called my current job for reference check, another week passed by, I still haven't heard anything back from them! Does anyone know how long will I hear them back after reference check? or maybe they are not going to hire me?? I'm really getting so anxious now, please help !!!!

dalgal, your interview was for RN or LVN? and how many percentage did you get when you finished your online self assessment? because i did my RN online assessment, and only got 85% and was wondering if i'm going to receive any inquire letter or not with 85%.. thanks :)

hello two sheds, after two weeks training, i really love it...i like hospital too, but after this, i dont wanna go back to hospital anymore. Since i got hired as lvn, so i have to pass meds at the window, but i dont want to forget bout my RN skills, so i volenteer to help out at triage room where i can observe how RNs do their work, how they take care of critically ill patient, thats a great experience.. and hopfully i will work my way up and get to that position and hired by state :)
