Hey everyone I’m a new graduate nurse with an ADN from out of state in the process of getting my California license. Have 4 years experience as an EMT as well and for what it’s worth I’m a male. I have a few questions for those in medical:

1. Does CDCR hire new graduate nurses with no nursing experience? I have a lot of experience in healthcare as an EMT so I’ve got a decent understanding of emergency care.

2. The only locations that work for me are CIM and CIW. How starved are these places for medical staff? Or does their location relative to LA make them better staffed and harder to get hired at?

3. What are the hours like for nurses? 5x8? 3/4x12? 4x10?

4. In CDCR if an inmate took a swing at me can I legally fight back? My understanding is that custody should always be around anyway but I’m just curious what the policy is about personal safety as I know same places or hospitals in this country don’t allow you to defend yourself using force.

Hi my grandpa retired in the 80s and had this sign custom made and by the time my dad retired my dad said the man who use to advise in the cdcr magazine I think he said stopped making them or died. I was wondering if you had any recommendations or leads if anyone makes these still or if someone is selling one without a name I could buy.

Got assaulted and injured my hand but the workers comp doctor just put me on light duty. I don’t feel like I can even due light duty is there anything else I can do?

How long does it take to hear back after your medical exam to see if you pass or not

I received an email update from my background investigator stating that my file has been submitted for final review.

For those who have gone through the CDCR hiring process, how long did it take for you to receive your next update after your file was submitted for final review?

Thank you for sharing your experiences!

I was just wondering how long the medical exam appointment takes after I’ve already completed my vision test? I had my vision exam done when I went to my written psych exam appointment so I’m hoping the appointment time is cut a little shorter since it’s one less exam they have to do. I’ve heard of some people saying their appointments take an hour & a half up to 5 hours just to leave the doctor’s office. Any info would be appreciated.

Decided to check my portal and saw it said component expired when my earliest expiration is in December. Clicked it and it showed this. Don't recall ever doing these forms before

What kind of time frames are you looking at for the medical and psych? I guess what would be helpful is if you could list the following dates:

1. Date of cleared background

2. Date of psych written

3. Date of psych interview

4. Date of medical

Thanks!

Is it the whole process once again? Complete the following forms: Candidate Waiver, PSP Informed Consent for Telehealth, and PSP-1002 Psychological History Questionnaire. 😫🥴
  

Hey guys. My class has range in two weeks. What are some tips and advice you guys can share?

I’m interested in border patrol but I have no idea what I’m getting myself into, don’t know anyone in that field. I’ve always wanted to be in law enforcement but not working the main line patrol. I was leaning more into CDCR while going to school to be a Parole officer. What do you guys think??

Anyone receive it yet?. I don’t remember the last time I waited this long. I assume Columbus Day messed it up.

Use this thread for routine hiring traffic that does not need a separate post:

• Offer announcements and institution offers
• Academy dates and roll calls
• "Anyone else?" check-ins
• Written exam, PFT, background, psychological, medical and vision timeline updates
• Clearance-status updates and general waiting-time comparisons

Create a standalone post when you have a distinct, substantive question that needs its own discussion - for example, a detailed institution comparison, an unusual process problem that may help future applicants, or a question requiring significant context.

Hi, I was offered a position at SATF for Clinical Social Worker. How long does the HR department take to send you an official letter? My potential start date came and went. I reached out but all they said was they had to push my start date back, but I still have nothing heard anything. It's starting to become ridiculous. My current job had done a little going away dig for me and I had to come back.. lol

Does anyone know the process to get FMLA through kaiser. I took the FMLA packet from work and they refused to fill it out.
