San Quentin ? from a non-nurse

[sassypantsRT(R)]

Hey all! You all are the closest thing I've come to finding people in my field! I'm not a nurse, but i am an x-ray tech, and I'd love the opportunity to apply for a position that is open at San Quentin. I have my state application for (678) filled out, as well as another form that asks what location(s) i am interested in working at. I guess I am a little confused about what an "exam" is? That sounds like a silly question, but from what I gather, you have to take the exam (it's not available online for this posting), but for the life of me I can't seem to find any information on how to take this exam, and where at. I get into an endless loop that sends me from the jobs.ca.gov site, to changing prison healthcare, to a third site, and none of them seem to have the information i am looking for!

have any of you experienced this and if so, can you possibly point me in the right direction? i am one frustrated girl right now!

i know it's a stupid question, but any help would really be appreciated :/

They evaluate your education and experience through the state application and give you a score. Click on the job on this link. Then send your app and the other form to the address provided

California Correctional Health Care Services - Allied Health Care Careers

in the bulletin.

phew! i guess i did it right! from the jobs.ca.gov site where i originally learned of the job or on a form it said something about "county you would like to take the exam in" or something similar. filled out app and exam form and mailed them off, now i guess i get to play that fun waiting game!

this site has been really great, i hope i have as positive of an experience as everyone here seems to have! thanks for the help!
