you need to check the laws in your state. having the meds in the blister pack, takes the place of having to put them in envelopes. that is despensing as noted by a prior reply.

Corrections are very interesting. Good luck !!!!!

If you have about 1 year med/surg background, give it a shot. Also read all the information on this site. Good luck.

Sad, but true.

There is a lot of info you need to read on this site. Look it all up. And get 1 year of med surg under your belt, if you can. Good luck.

Pay attention to the other posts. Get in 1 year of med surg. If you decide to work in a prison, skip the women's prison.

Have you tried applying to Calif. Dept. of Corrections? Go on line to check them out and apply.

You tell it like it is and do it so well !!!

If you address this problem with the sherrif, and county officals, you might get an answer of 'budget problems' and 'staffing'. If the problem dosn't seem to improve, you can get ahold of the investigation section of your local newspapers and t.v.

For all nurses thinking of going into correctional nursing, please read this and believe it. It's the truth.

That is a good wage for a LPN. Where in Indiana are you?

Corrections.

I wonder if Indiana will ever catch up to the rest of the country. Dosn't seem like going back to Hoosierland will be a very good monetary deal for any of us. Have a safe move in December.

Did you enjoy the assignment? Where are you going next?

If it isn't necessary for you to switch jobs, don't do it. If you do, the odds are you won't be a happy camper. Go with your gut. Dealing with women in the correctional enviorment is way more difficult than dealing with men. Good luck in your choi...

Not from the UK. But have worked corrections in the US in diferent states. It's much easier to deal with male inmates IMHO. Good luck in your choice.

I vote corrections too. Nothing like it. Good luck on your choice.

You must be in Lake or LaPorte Co. I made more than that as a new LPN a loooooooong time ago in NW Ind. Good grief, this state needs to catch up to reality. Looks like when I come back it's either corrections or agency for me. Thanks a lot for y...

Thank you for sharing this info. Had heard things were bad in the Ca. prison sys., but never could have imagined it was this bad. Have worked correctional nursing in 3 different states and never was the care given that poor. Can't imagine they hav...

Thanks for trying to find out. Will probably be coming back home one of these days soon. Just getting all my ducks in order now, so i have a list of places to apply to when it's time. Want to stay in corrections if possible. Thanks again.

Since you are a new LPN making $20.50, do you have any idea what the pay is for a long time LPN with mult. years in corrections? Thanks for all your info.

Who is in charge of your facility? State or prvate company?

What facility are you working for?
