Try

http://www.bop.gov

Haven't been there in a while, so I'm not sure if they have the job openings or not, but they should have a link to them.

The website is ww.bop.gov

I am a BOP nurse, and I would be glad to answer any questions I can for you.

I am assuming by your name that you are in Texas??
Can I ask where? One of my EMTs went to a BOP facility in Galveston or somewhere around Houston. She was excellent. I would do anything to have her back... If only I could offer her pay comparable to the feds!

(I am in Lubbock, but oversee multiple private medical facilities in TX, NM, AZ, and FL.) We have two private BOP facilities. One is in Pecos, TX & Post, TX. They are a little harder to get used to when compared to our state and county facilities.

Does the BOP use LPN/LVNs ?

[Marie_LPN]

Yes, the BOP hires practical nurses.

[BSNinTX]

Yes, some institutions use LVNs or LPNs, as well as EMTs.

Yes, I am in Texas - Bastrop to be precise. That's just east of Austin.

BOP has facilities in both Beaumont and Houston, but the medical care in Beaumont is contracted to the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.

Do you (or your company) work with the folks at Reeves? We get inmates from there at times. Does your company work with the INS facility in Raymondville?

Yes, Federal inmates are, well, "special."

Yes we do the medical care at both Reeves Co. & Raymondville.

The Raymondville facility is extremely nice and we have a really good medical staff. It was just built about a year or two ago so it's a lot nicer than some of our older facilities. I got to go there a few weeks ago to help them prepare for an upcoming ACA audit.

I haven't been to RCDC for a couple of years now. The other corporate RN oversees both RCDC & Raymondville, so I only go if they ask me to.

We also have another INS facility in Chaparral, NM, just North of El Paso. It is in the process of expansion. I oversee it as well as various other facilities in Texas. It is also preparing for ACA.

I try to take on the ACA & NCCHC facilities and she handles BOP and JCAHO. Wouldn't trade for the world! LOL
