Got a new job!!!

Specialties Correctional

Published

Well, last Wednesday I got a new job at a rather large county jail. At first I was being hired for PRN work but by the time my background check came back they had a full-time position for me. I start on Monday. I am a little nervous. Not so much about the inmates (yet!!) but just about being the new kid on the block again! One of the best things about this job is that out of the 14 employees, there is only one full-time RN, one RN is PRN and then there is a NP that is also PRN. So, as a LPN I will have more responsibilities and will be able to use more of my assessment skills. I won't just be the pill pusher that I was in the hospital! BUT, the best part of the job is that I am going from $13.17/hr to $20.10/hr. I think that is pretty darn good for someone that has only been a LPN since April 2003.

Please keep us informed on how this position goes. I won't graduate LPN until Winter 2006, but I'm contemplating working at one of the local prison facilities. (I'm in Atlanta area, so we have quite a few )
