Prisons(or jails) in or near Nashville, TN

Published

Hey all!

I'm not a nurse yet..but I'm applying to nursing schools to hopefully get in for Fall 2011. I'm planning on moving to or near Nashville when I finish nursing school. I know it's like over 2 years away..but I'm trying to start planning for a move now...just because I live in Chicago and I'm one of those research freaks that I always research the hell outta everything before I buy something substantial, etc. I also have 2 kids so I need to plan because of that. :)

I was wondering if it's hard to get a job in a prison in TN..hopefully near Nashville, is it better to be a LPN or RN(for working in a prison..I plan on getting my RN), do you have to have graduated from schools with certain credentials for that, what is the pay range, are there any avenues that I should go through to try to get a job in a prison near TN, any websites that I can go to to get more information, etc?? Any information that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!!! :D

Thank you so much for the info! I didn't realize till just now that someone answered me. :yeah::D

I have another question. In order to be a Correctional Nurse does it matter if your nursing school is not NLNAC Accredited? Is just having CCNE accreditation okay??

Thank you again!!!
