Sacramento County DCF/State of CA Nursing Positions

[laceym]

I have recently been put on an eligibility list for a potential interview for a RN position in DCF through Sacramento County. This is a continuous filing position. My rank is 2nd and my score was 90. Does anyone know the hiring process of this county? How high is the turnover? What locations would be considered for DCF? Juvenile Hall branch on Bradshaw? The Branch in the South end of Sacramento? I Street Main Jail? I am a new grad (sigh) but I have experience working in the juvenile hall on Bradshaw and the Boys Ranch out in the sticks, but as an outsider coming in to do Health Education. I also have experience working with the population that gets incarcerated, but I worked with them when they were currently on the "outs". Also, I heard the state can take forever to respond, close to year? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I am working at a private OBGYN office as a receptionist and I feel that my brain is going numb (don't get me wrong, I am grateful that I have a job though to pay the bills and get by).

I know there are currently RN Dept of Justice positions for RN's with at least one year of experiencein the correctional setting, through the agency as travel nurses. The pay is good and the assignments last anywhere from 8-13 weeks with an opportunity to go permanent or re-new your contract.

Can anyone offer any pointers on the interview process?
