My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: CA
Hi Everyone,
I’m trying to get some straight answers regarding the California Training Program.
I am currently working full time as licensed vocational nurse. I learned that I will be laid off at the end of this summer, but luckily got into a LVN-RN Bridge Program a nearby junior college. The program is 1 year. There is a 6 week session during this summer then the program will run full time this September.
Finding work as a nurse is competitive in California despite of the “shortage”. In addition there seems to be a trend occurring where hospitals are now phasing out LVN’s and only hiring RN’s, therefore reinforcing my decision to go back to school to become a RN. This will increase my chances to get a job in the long run.
Questions:
-Does anyone know if I am eligible for CBT if I attend a 1 year program at this junior college?
-Do you know if I can apply for the CBT now, to expedite the process for Fall? Or would I have to wait till I'm actually laid off...
-Does house hold income affect eligibility for CBT? ( My wife will continue working as a nurse).
Thanks!
