Thanks for responding. I appreciate the input.

Thanks so much for the insight.

I got a job as a correctional nurse in CDCR. This is my first time working corrections although my current job can as well be in corrections but with little safety. We get the worst from down town LA and any other pts with no insurance especially homeless people. I have the guts for corrections but I want to know what benefits they really have. *Do they get shift differential pay as we do in hospitals. *They said safety workers do not qualify for SS. Its that a good or bad thing? Otherwords is the pension worth it? *How many years do you have to work to qualify for retirement? *What are the growth prospects? *When last did civil servants have a pay increase? *How to I succed in this environment. *Do they have a high turnover rate and if so why? Because am quitting my good paying but very high stress acute care job for this. Any insights will be highly appreciated.
