Hello! I am interviewing at a state supermax on Monday which has 3000 inmates. They told me to dress conservatively and bring only my ID. I will be given a multiple choice test and the best score will be offered the job. I have learned so much from this thread. My background is med/surg, ER and LTC. I was also a Director of Nursing. I feel my 18 years of RN experience will help me as a first time Correctional Nurse.

PS - I went through allnurses.com before my interview and cut and pasted all the forensic facility question and answers I found into one document I could study, read into a recorder and listen to, and get as familiar with as possible.

That is a great idea. Would you mind sharing your document?

Exactly..this is the same with corrections in New Zealand too.I had an interview yesterday. had questions almost the same way Orca has presented.

Got a call for an interview at a state hospital and so glad I started to compile and study all the responses here. I'm happy, excited and a little nervous about this new chapter opening up, and I'm going for it! Thank you to everyone who has shared here. This information is invaluable!

The interview went ok. There were 4 questions, 2 questions about diabetes and 2 of which were psych scenarios. I did okay, but was nervous. So they said I should hear something in 3 weeks, depending on when they get ahold of my references. I guess if they are going to the trouble of contacting references that there may be a job possibility. I didn't pretend to have more experience than I did, but stressed areas which would help me in this setting.

Hello! I have an interview on Wednesday, October 23 in a NZ corrections. Would really appreciate if anyone has an idea or previous experience with a job interview here in NZ. I am glad to have found this and have been reading and reviewing in preparation for my interview. Cheers!

How do the day to day duties differ between an LVN and an RN in the prisons I am coming from a hospice scenario where the LVN was required to almost everything the RN did. I have applied for a California prison?

What are some typical psych scenarios besides man down and attempted suicide what kinds of manipulation questions could I get in my interview as an LVN?

It was a long time ago but will an associate of science degree in Admin of justice Corrections option help me at all in getting the job,just hoping.
