    I am having a hard time finding out what the pay is for federal corrections. Applied and waiting to hear for an interview - although they expect me to get the job as I'm the only applicant. I have heard once I accept an offer, it is non-negotiable, and that I should research what others make so I dont get upset. I have been working as an NP now for a year. They did say they would beat my current salary as long as I bring in a paystub, however I did not get a raise due to the hospital system not giving raises after the first year (it turns out my one year raise will be in october, where I will have been here almost 2!). Just wondering if there are other NP's that are in federal corrections and what they bring in.Thanks!

    I work for a contractor company for a state prison on the east coast. This is my first job out of school and am making a little under 85K, if that helps.
  5. Current salary is $52,785- 81,714/ yr per www.usajobs.gov and choose Dept of justice as the agency.
  6. I work for a contractor company at the county level and am not an FNP but I think our FNP's make 54-57 an hour.. hope that helps.
