Hi!!!

They do hire new grads in corrections, I passed the boards this past January, I was just hired at a local jail!!! I'm super excited, if you do a search on this sure for "new grad, corrections" you will see there are a lot of us that have landed a job in corrections.

I see on your profile your in Gastonia, one of my classmates was hired at the Gaston county jail about a month after we passed the boards, I'm sure you'll be able to get in!!!

When do u graduate? Good luck!!!! :)

I got hired as a GPN on a PRN basis at my county jail. They used a mix of LPNs and RNs, slighty more LPNs. The LPNs passed meds (I passed meds to almost 300 inmates on 3-11!) we also did treatments, vitals and triaged inmates who put in written requests to see medical staff. As for the RNs, they acted as charge, did intake and did the physicals.

I work as an LVN at my local county jail. I was a brand new grad with no prior experience in healthcare. I absolutely love it! There are a lot of things that you get to do and for me there is never a dull moment so it makes it fun :) best of luck to you!
