@teejay323 Yep Im still at RJD! I really still do enjoy the job!! Corrections was a great choice for me. I spoken to a lot of RNs that work here that came from the Hospital and they all wish they would have started here, only because the benefits a...

CONGRATS!! What institution?

@Overcast with cdcr they actually put you where they need you. If there is an opening for the TTA (er) and you do have experience you can request to be put there but it’s really where they need you, but there seems to be overtime in the TTA so you c...

This is great feedback! Do you wear scrubs? What do they go to the clinic for? Band aids? What happens when someone gets seriously injured and needs a full on trauma save? I’ve seen prisoners in my hospital before, but what happens if they a...

@sunshinedgood luck!

@Overcast each yard has a indoor clinic shared with dental so inmates are seen there for medical and dental needs. As far as mandating yes they can, have I been mandated yet, no LOL. You are never outside thou, all the work you do as nurses is wit...

Update!! @sunshined So I started back in the beginning of March. My orientation was 12 weeks so by the time I finished orientation I felt comfortable being on my own. Although I still go to my peers or soup when I need help. I was placed on one of...

Good luck! The interview process was not that bad; had a total of ten questions. 3 questions were senario based (chest pain; overdose and spider bite) the other were more about you and why nursing as a career.

Hey how did it go?

@sunshinehauseI’d be proactive and call the HR in healthcare for that facility. I too called and she was able to give me an update. I know the state likes transparency so if you were honest with your background and your license situation its not alw...

@sunshinehause so I had an interview January 9 and by January 31st I was offered the job. Where did you apply and interview?

A couple days, especially if you have a clean background! Good luck!!!

The 200 questionnaire and the cvs are done on separate days. My background was done after the questionnaire and completed by the time I did my cvs.

I applied to sd county correctional . After the initial interview, id say like 2 weeks later I answered a 200 question background questionnaire. So with the county they make you take a certified voice stress (cvs) test as part of the requirement fo...

@overcast I’ll keep updating you!! Man second semester seems like just yesterday! You’ll be surprised how fast the program goes and before you know it you’ll be graduated and licensed! Wait so do you attend USC?

@Teejay323 @Overcast Update! OK guys last I told you I got the job for the limited term intermittent position that has no benefits, well two weeks ago I applied to a limited term full time (LT /FT )position that became available and yesterday I got a...

@Teejay323 I’ll keep you updated. Yes these last few months the positions have been limited term but they told me to keep an eye out because the perm ft will be posted and once they do I just need to apply and then they can roll me over. Good luck ...

@Overcastwhen I said I took the exam it wasn’t the nclex but the exam for the state to be able to rank and apply. The nclex I didn’t take until early November. As far as nclex you’re better off waiting till all your classes are done because your sch...

@overcast @Teejay323 UPDATE!!! Ok so I told you guys I had applied/interviewed for both the county of San Diego jail facility and CDCR state prison (RJ Donovan). Yesterday I got a call from both offering me jobs!!! I have decided to go with the stat...

@Teejay323ill keep you updated. As far as application interview process I had taken the rn exam back in April when I was still in my fourth semester And passed with an 85. As far as applying learned that If I wasn’t licensed my application wouldn’t ...

@OvercastI had my interview today at RJ Donovan (state prison) and it went well I had 7 question 3 of which were scenario based questions. It was a two person panel interview where two supervising RNs where the ones interviewing me. They did stress...

Thanks!! I don’t have my bsn yet but with state and county jobs they are hiring those with an adn. So I applied to the county jails but also to the state prison. As you already know the federal jobs do require BSN. Honestly my resume I don’t thin...

Hey well I applied with the state as a new grad back in early November and I have an interview next week. I also interviewed last month with the county of San Diego to work at one of their correctional facilities and moved on to the second phase of ...

From what I’ve been told they are 8 hour shifts with possible required overtime but apparently you can find someone to swap with and end up doing 16,8,16 with four days off
