Hello all, I know that alot of institutes will notify their applicants if they are not selected after interveiw. Does anyone know if BOP does this? Thanks

I believe they do but most are accepted. You can be let go at training if you can't pass the physical test

I saw an opening with a BOP facility close to me. How is it working for BOP? Just intrigued me because the hospital I currently work at get patients from the BOP facility and when I was talking to the correctional officers they told me the benefits are good. Also the FCI is a closer commute. How is the pay? Do they usually do 8 or 12 shifts?? What is the routine usually like?

The one I worked at was 10 hour shifts. It is busy depending on the shift and medical level of the facility. Med pass is like 200 people to a nurse or pharmacist. Some of them have pharmacists doing pill line too. New intakes sock call inmate and staff emergencies. Plus at BOP nurses are also officers and weapons trained
