  1. Help with CRNA admissions

    TomRN1 replied to giov's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm pretty sure you need a BS in Nursing, 1 year experience as an ICU RN. Your GPA probably depends on the program and how many applicants. While in school you must maintain (I think) 84%. 19 years...

    TomRN1 replied to nurselindah's topic in Correctional

    I am starting too, Erica. I'm still in the dark about how long orientation is and where I'll be placed. I hope it's in downtown L.A.. Congrats to you! It was a long wait, but worth it. See you on the...

  3. Calling all LA County Sheriff's Dept. Nurses

    TomRN1 replied to nurselindah's topic in Correctional

    The medical exam is just a physical that includes hearing, eyesight, urinalysis for drugs and overall health. It takes about an hour or so and you need to fill out an inventory of your health...

    TomRN1 replied to nurselindah's topic in Correctional

    Thanks for the post. I hope to get either a phone call or letter in the mail too. The medical clearance implies that we are hired, but need to wait for further instructions from the hiring department....

    TomRN1 replied to nurselindah's topic in Correctional

    There is the oral interview, then the background interview, then the physical. I believe that would be 3 days minimum. Good

    TomRN1 replied to MarieD's topic in General Students

    Well, congrats to you for finally getting to do something for yourself. I have been an RN for over one year now and can say that it was challenging but well worth the pursuit. I too am middle-aged and...

  7. Calling all LA County Sheriff's Dept. Nurses

    TomRN1 replied to nurselindah's topic in Correctional

    Nothing yet! I did talk with a nurse who works at the towers and she said that after the physical it goes fairly quick, but who knows what 'quick' means. :) When did you receive your physical passing...

    TomRN1 replied to nurselindah's topic in Correctional

    Hi Erika, How did you find out about the orientation on Sep. 1st. I hope we can get into one of these quickly too. As far as I know, we're hired since we passed all the pre-employment requirements....

    I can't even remember when I interviewed it's been so long. I applied last September though. Long

    TomRN1 replied to nurselindah's topic in Correctional

    Yes, I think orientation starts soon too. I hope it starts, I'm beginning to like working 3 days a week! I will like the 8 hour shift though! Erica27, I can't imagine they would put us through this...

    TomRN1 replied to nurselindah's topic in Correctional

    Hi, I received mine last week and am wondering too. Just waiting for the hiring department to contact me with further info. I hope that the job is in downtown L.A. since I live in OC. This has been a...

    TomRN1 replied to nurselindah's topic in Correctional

    I am waiting for my start date assuming I passed the physical. When is your start date? I think there is a month of orientation. Congrats again for starting! Did they say where you will work? Twin...

    TomRN1 replied to nurselindah's topic in Correctional

    Congrats on your start date. When did you have your physical? I'm still waiting for a start date call. I had my physical two weeks ago, backgrounds are done. Let me know when you are starting! I...

    TomRN1 replied to nurselindah's topic in Correctional

    Hi jin2003, I just had my physical last week and they told me I would know within 3 to 4 weeks the results. They told me the next step is to be approved by the hiring department and the CEO who...

    TomRN1 replied to nurselindah's topic in Correctional

    Hi, Have you heard the results of your physical and have you been offered a position yet? I'm scheduled for a physical in the next week or so.

    Hi, I'm scheduled for my physical exam in the next week. How long have you waited since your physical?

    TomRN1 replied to nurselindah's topic in Correctional

    Hi, What type of physical exam is it? Do you have to climb a wall and jump 15 feet? Or is it lab tests and vision etc.?

  19. Calling all LA County Sheriff's Dept. Nurses

    TomRN1 replied to nurselindah's topic in Correctional

    I would imagine felonies would disqualify you. I wouldn't worry if it is something you did several years ago and it wasn't a felony. You had to go through a background check to be a nurse so you're...

    TomRN1 replied to MarieD's topic in General Students

    Congrats on getting in to school. And for those of you waiting, don't worry, it will come. I miss school already but now I can make a living and help people at the same time. It was weird being in...

  21. Older Nursing students

    TomRN1 replied to MarieD's topic in General Students

    I graduated last year and am 51 yrs. old. I find that the patients I work with respect me as their nurse as many of them are near my age. I also enjoyed a bond with younger students that really didn't...

  22. Calling all LA County Sheriff's Dept. Nurses

    TomRN1 replied to nurselindah's topic in Correctional

    Hi. I scored 100 percent on my interview, and that was over 3 months ago and I haven't heard anything other than I passed the interview and am eligible for hire. I was one of the first to interview,...

    Hi, How did they contact you for your background check? Also, did you interview in November and were you in band 1?

    Thanks for the encouragement. I still haven't heard anything, but hopefully I can go through that crazy process too!

  25. Calling all LA County Sheriff's Dept. Nurses

    TomRN1 replied to nurselindah's topic in Correctional

    Thanks for letting me know. I scored in Band 1 too but haven't received a call. I live in Orange County and maybe they aren't calling me until a position is open in L.A. rather than say Lancaster. You...
