Can anybody please help me, i am RN, just was accepted by BOP in south CA and for CA state prison in N. CA!
I have a few questions, which benefits better CA state or BOP federal, including retirement, health care covereage after retirement , pay , of course better CA state, what possibility with overtime in BOP, what career opportunity with BOP? what difference between this two environment, I would be appreciated any help with any information, because I got 2-3 weeks to decide......please help me with any info.....
Luke, if you go BOP I would first ask them what their staffing level is currently. Not nurse to patient ratio, however, if they expect to have 100 RN's staffed, how many are they currently short. A very high % of Federal prisons are working short right now, some as low as 60%. We are around 15% short where I work right now and it's only causing more to leave due to burn out. I am not familiar with any of the locations you listed. Good luck.
(and remember you have to do 20 years inside the fence to get you Law Enforcement retirement)
