Salinas MTA info

Published

Hi Everybody!

I was wondering if anyone on this board is an MTA at Salinas Valley or Vacaville.

I just applied as an MTA at Salinas.

I have a ton of questions. Any info provided would be greatly appreciated!!!

-How long did your background check take?

-I will be a Psych Tech, if I get the job. If I get an RN license, will I get paid more?

-Do you like it? Any info would be awesome!

THANKS!!

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

Hey!

I'm glad it is working out for you! Unfortunately, I can't make it.

Good news I can try again in a year. In the meantime, I'll try to

get a non-peace officer job (Psych Tech) at one of the state hospital

then try to transfer over. Maybe next year? Hope you have a great and fruitful Career!

Take Care,

Pete
