Specializes in ICU, long term care.

Tomorrow I have an interview for a nurse position in a local jail. I have been a nurse for 28 years, but I've never worked in a jail. Any tips for a successful interview?

Specializes in ICU.

Speak about your focus on optimal patient care and safety! Speak about your conflict resolution, which I'm sure in the prisons you'll see a lot of. Speak about how you can see the signs of a person increasing in agitation and escalating.

I found focus on mental intelligence and being aware of your surroundings, due to the heightened risks with a position in that environment.

Hope this helps ?
