Correctional nursing at Sierra Conservation in Jamestown CA

Not worked at that prison.
i have worked 3 other california prisons.

Shifts and weekends depends.
If you work out in the yard clinics, vs. CTC (prison hospital with ER).
Clinics are M-F, Hospital is 24 hour.
Some clinics, staff works 4 ten hour shifts. Some are 8 hr.
CTC is usually 12.
Some prison CTC is rotating weekends, some your days off depend on seniority, so you may get stuck with having t/w off till you been there 5 years. OT happens more in CTC then clinics for obvious reasons.
Mandatory OT depends on facility staffing.
Some are staffed well and you only do 1 OT a month, some you will look at 2 a week. And you can't say no, sick children or not.
If you can show up for the beginning of you shift, you better be prepared to stay for OT, otherwise you may want to not consider this type of work.

Mandatory OT tends to happen on weekends, holidays, fridays and mondays.

Typical day would take forever.
CLinics are like any general health clinic.
CTC is a combo of SNF/Rehab/ER/Minor Day surgery.
