I just recieved my letter from the state yesterday inquiring if I am still interested in working as an RN at Pelican Bay in Crescent City, CA. I ranked 3 out of 17. I sent my letter back today telling them that I was interesting. I will just wait a little while for an interview. I have sooo many questions. I have worked around prisoners while in nursing school in the hospital but that is it. What can I expect at the interview? If I am accepted for employment what can I expect while working there (safety, working hours/conditions, ect). My uncle is a CO there and said that the nurses are never left alone with inmates but I still want an insiders nurse point of view on Pelican Bay as I know it is a super-max prison. Im a little intimidated....but the pay for my family is so worth it as is the move up there. Thanks in advance.
