Prison Nursing

Published

I was just wondering if anyone out there has or does work in a prison, what do u think of it? Even if u don't is it a good job for a nurse?

I was considering a move to a prison hospital, i've heard its good if you can get your head around working with criminals all day, some of which may have committed horrible crimes but u still have to be unjudgemental and compassionate...

I'm a BSN, RN and an active police officer for 12 years and convicted a lot of notorious criminals. Now I'm considering to work as correctional nurse abroad for higher salary, if you could help me please consider my request, thanks.

Correctional nursing is the best kept secret in the nursing world! I love it and have worked in DOC for 5 years! Great benefits! Fantastic security. Personally, I believe it is safer then the private sector.....where you care for the lower crust of society as well. These patients have just been caught and sentenced. They appreciate the care they receive!
