hey Pete, So far so good here in Salinas DMH. I just want to say how easy this job is compared to working in a LTC or convalescent hospital! 8 hour shift and all your really working is 1-2 hours.. its just spread apart haha. You dont have to deal with families, mostly escorting, the med techs do most of the med passes, its a safe and secured place even if they are inmates, we follow safety to the TEEE! lol but this is the end of my second week here. get in soon man! lol

update! i finally got a call from CDCR informing me that the "hiring freeze exempt" has passed for me and that I have a start date to work on NOV 14 at salinas!! =D finally after almost a whole year of waiting! lol hows your selection process going so far slappy619?

I was in background investigations for about 1-2 months until I received my background clearance today in the mail, I read in the forums it usually takes that amount of time to pass or it could be less. I sent in my first application for the position for MTA/lvn around FEB so the selection process has been awhile =/ I heard the salary wages in the MTA/CO employment packet is outdated and is actually higher now but nothing can ever be for sure. Right now im just waiting for that phone call as I "just" completed all steps of the selection process (phew) and its just the waiting game for the academy date/appointment process! So thats just my experience as you will be on your road to being an MTA too as I am still on as well GOODLUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY!
