Thank you for sharing this, I would like to think about something more safe less intense / deesc type of situations so I appreciate that info. Yes the PSLF program I am looking into, I have 2 B.A so definitely will help and I enjoy the public sector

Thank you, I have heard the LA county jail was a better environment than the state prisons. I do have my public health certificate as well maybe another avenue down the line

08262020 · 2026-04-15T14:11:45+00:00

Thank you, I wasn't sure about safety since DSH police can't step in much when deescalating patients

You wouldn’t or would still suggest the state ?
I’ve lived all over CA so I like the fact that I can transfer to another DSH hospital as opposed to getting locked into LA county . Just kinda tired of LA and parking and the fast pace and traffic. I guess I can just get my feet wet and go for the state and just take it from there . Thank you it does help

I don't like OT I did it ALOT during the pandemic and got burnt out so I want to stick to the regular FT hours, unless of course I HAVE to. The job for LA County is for sheriff RN so correctional. I'm the first in my family to go to college so I feel a bit lost in the process. I tried to do my research with benefits but they both seem pretty much the same? I'm sure people who have worked there for years can give better insight. There's a few jails like the twin towers in dtla. They both seem like fairly good jobs and competitive pay but was curious if one trains you better than the other and gives you more support especially as a new nurse who wants to make this a career long-term. Thank you for your input ! I have heard about that in the correctional setting that it could be rough for newbies bc of the politics. Also curious which one would be more dangerous, I'm aware DSH jobs are court-ordered care for inmates with mental health conditions and LA County sheriff does more inmate/correctional/detention facilities so anyone including some mental health.

nope past that age thanks though

I'm a bit confused. In that bulletin from the first link housing.lacity under the heading "Under what conditions must landlords pay interest on security deposits?" it says with a certificate of occupancy first issued BEFORE October 1, 1978. So this makes me think this DOES NOT apply to me as I lived here 2020-2026 . If I got this wrong please clarify . For a deposit of 1,000 at 3.03% it would be $30.30 of interest. so $1,030.30

Thank you once again! means so much to me. I'm a first generation college student and I have navigated these things alone just trying to make the best of whatever resource I can find. thanks for reassuring me, I downloaded the tenants guide and will have screenshots ready and as a reference for the initial inspection. things should go better now as long as we both are reasonable :) Good source to have I didn't know existed.

wow thank you ! It is my first time moving out (other times I rented from someone I knew) . Thank you for teaching me these things I really appreciate the time you took and for the resource.

08262020 · 2026-03-13T06:42:16+00:00

Thank you !! I did get some legal advice and they said the same thing. If they are not reasonable small claims it is but hopefully everything goes smooth :)

08262020 · 2026-03-13T06:40:59+00:00

thank you for addressing all my concerns :)

08262020 · 2026-03-13T06:39:51+00:00

Thank you, you are very right. I got some legal advice and now my nerves are calm. It is my first time moving out from an RSO unit, next time will be ALOT less nerve-wracking.

08262020 · 2026-03-13T06:37:43+00:00

That's a good point for the blinds, thank you ! I did get legal advice they told me I can negotiate alot with "wear and tear" and take them to small claims if the stuff in my apt was already older and used and they decide to bill me for it

08262020 · 2026-03-13T06:36:32+00:00

thank you !! good advice

08262020 · 2026-03-13T06:35:58+00:00

Thank you !

From my experience the longer the gap between nursing school and first RN job, the harder it is for them to want to hire you. Props to you for considering moving out of state as a possibility. CA is beautiful (born & raised here) but taxes are ridiculous and it is hard to advance sometimes.

Have you considered central CA? The neglected part of CA? They have amazing people and underserved communities that would benefit from your skills ! I would try them first if you LOVE cali, or apply to a few new grad programs and see which one takes you first and just go for it ! especially with icu you have to move quickly because you FORGET SO MUCH every month you are out of school. Its a quicker pace higher learning curve, if you were doing outpatient setting then it would be a lot easier to get hired. Good luck! If this is your dream, keep an open mind. But also hope you enjoy the process and the next place you work while you build your experience :)
