Hired by Armor Correctional Health Care

I was recently hired by Armor Correctional Health Care for a per-diem position at the Washoe County Detention Facility here in Reno, Nevada. I was a former employee of Corizon Correctional Health Care (Prison Health Services) at the same detention facility. Armor was selected by the County Commissioners as the new contract company to provide medical services at the facility. My experience so far with Armor has been wonderful. The company is bringing in a new electronic medical record system that is essential in a facility of this size, the Regional Vice President in one of the nicest and most professional people I have met associated with correctional nursing in a very long time. Most of all, from the beginning the representatives of this company make you feel that they are truly interested in you as a person and as a nurse. Their dedication to correctional nursing is obvious and sincere. They recognize the role that the Registered Nurses have in the correctional setting is an essential one. In contrast to Corizon , where the nursing leadership always made the nurses feel like they were doing us a favor by allowing us to work there, Armor has been wonderful and welcoming. I am so looking forward to my experience with this company.

I just started working for armor too. I can't wait until we get a computerized system. I heard it's coming soon and am so excited. Way too much paperwork for a facility this big.
