Hi Nurses,

how is everyone doing? :yes: hope good.

I would appreciate it if anyone could help answer my questions. I am looking for good Psychiatry/Mental health jobs in California. Where are the best places to work. Are there Psych Hospitals? Is it better to use an agency to find a job in California? What are the best agencies to use? Thank you for all your wonderful nurses who are able to answer my questions. I appreciate it.

Specializes in L&D, infusion, urology.

Where in CA are you looking? There aren't a ton of inpatient units left these days. I know one in NorCal pays about $30/hour, which isn't much for the area. I don't believe agencies would be your connection to these jobs. You'd need to apply directly. They tend to have very high turnover, FYI.

Thank you for taking time to answer my post. I am looking at Southern California. I am not sure what you mean by "very high turnover" please can you explain?
