Correctional Prison/jail cna

[ShaneseU]

I was wondering if anyone had any information about working for the department of correction as a CNA. i was hoping to obtain a job there after completetion of my cna program. Any info would be nice. I.e. Hours , pay, patient to cna ratio...

No, I did not do any volunteer work. I got my CNA in November 2010, & then a job in January 2011 so I didn't really need to, & was employed for a year. Now, I simply can't afford to drive anywhere to do volunteer work even if I wanted to.

I don't know what CNA's do whenever they volunteer at places, I doubt they are allowed to do any clinical work at all d/t liability issues.
