Help! Corrections nursing requirements


Hello fellow nurses. I am a new poster to this site. I have been looking through some of the posts and subjects in the past and noticed that there are a number of corrections nurses. I am interested in pursuing this line of health care as an R.N. and would really appreciate any information about how to get into the profession. Some questions would be: What does the board/interviewers look for in a candidate? What are some extra qualifications if any for a prospective nursing employee with prisons? What is the interview like (hard/easy/certain questions, etc?) What is the security like for nurses in a prison? Do they want a fresh out of college nurse, or someone with acute, emergency, trauma experience? I will be looking to work for the state of California corrections department. Thanks so much for any and all replies. Nancy

If it was Georgia:
Warm body + license = job

Interview: HSA of the facility that contacted me

Orientation: This is your office, this is your desk, those are your patients medical records, your first patient is on the way....

Security differs by prison here.. Some quick to react some not so quick.
