Corrections Nursing


I'm considering taking a job with a county jail as an LPN but I'm concerned that when I apply for something else in 2-3 years it won't be considered a wise career move. I'm also a new grad LPN and the job states 0-1 years experience. I'm also curious as to how orientation will work and if I'll actually be able to utilize what I've learned and gain from this experience.

i have to agree with the last poster...a job is a job.......I took a state job before taking my boards......they paid the most and have wonderful benefits......i utilize most of my nursing like trach care,g[tubes,neb tx,caths,meds.....but we also do it all...ADLs...no aids to help....all LPNs...which is kind of cool......its hard work...but it is a job.....
