  1. Hired at a correctional....any advise?

    In your considering the BOP.....Reconsider, toxic environment all around the country
  2. Am I right that this is nuts?

    The work relationship between medical staff and custody I would never believe if I didn't work in corrections. Sometimes I wonder if the Inmates or administration are bigger criminals. I have pepper spray on my belt always.
  3. Age Requirement for BOP?

  8. please help!!!! BOP or CA state prison?

    Luke, if you go BOP I would first ask them what their staffing level is currently. Not nurse to patient ratio, however, if they expect to have 100 RN's staffed, how many are they currently short. A very high % of Federal prisons are working short r...
  9. During our entire Magnet run, they had fliers posted everywhere, "Magnet, higher nursing satisfaction, better nurse to patient ratio's" Well apparently their idea of better ratio's means giving us more patient's. Our ratio just went from 4 TO 6 whe...
  10. RN to BSN ?

    There was a thread a while ago but I can't find it now. I know some people recommended Winston Salem State, any other thoughts on good online (and not too difficult) Programs? Thanks!
