Any advice on the second interview on Thursday? We are meeting in the prison (I really liked my phone interview with the DON). Never been to prison before...:) How about some advice on carrying myself, dressing, etc. I don't want to present myself in a way that puts me in any disadvantageous position with coworkers or CO's or inmates....oh my!
I have been a Labor and Delivery Nurse for 8 years and now it's time for a change. I have always wanted to explore the field of corrections and now i have a real opportunity to accept a night shift position in the state prison. Any advise? It seems like quite a switch from Labor (birth) to corrections - the similarities would be thinking on your feet, able to react quickly. I just wander how much I have forgotten in trauma pshych and other nursing skills being in such specialized field all these years. Anything you can tell me i would appreciate. Any good books to read? I am afraid I am so used to the "hospiality" way of maternity field, I may be too trusting in corrections environment. Am I thinking of getting myself into too much? Thank you:nurse:
