I've been hired

Congratulations!

(Study up on mental health)

Congratulations Foxy!

I am also new to corrections. I work in a large county jail system and accepted the job totally based on reading this board. I also want to thank you all that have contributed.

All of my experience is in ICU and I wondered how the transition would be. I must say I LOVE THIS NEW JOB! :redbeathe I can even go to the bathroom when needed - what a luxury. :nuke:

Starting my 1st correctional nursing position next month, at a medium security men's facility. I don't think anyone has been so excited to go to prison, hahaha.

Just wanted to say a big THANKS to everyone who contributes to this board. I researched corrections nursing a LOT over the last few months and I found 99% of the answers to my questions right here on this board.

Have been in med-surg for 2 and 1 quarter years now and am absoluetly thrilled to be starting this new chapter in my career. Thanks again everyone and I'll be sure to stay in touch and offer my own experience on this board as well.

What state are you in? How long did it take you to get hired from the time you put in your app?

Congrats!! I've been doing Correctional Nursing for 5 years now and I love it. Never boring....that is for sure!! Good luck with the new job!

^The whole process took about 6 weeks. It was kind of frustrating because despite being told verbally that I had the position from 3 different people, it took FOREVER to get my offer letter. Anyway, I'm glad it all worked out though.

congrats:yeah::yeah:I wish you the best in your new adventure.

how is everything going on the job

Congratulations!!

I'm new to corrections too.
