Market context
California healthcare employers often seek licensed vocational nurses and psychiatric technicians for behavioral health settings, where current state licensure and CPR/first aid are standard requirements. These roles can be competitive because prior mental health nursing experience is preferred and benefits such as medical coverage, paid holidays, vacation, and life insurance are commonly part of the package.
