Alter-ego

Just recently became an LPN. I started looking for jobs with the highest pay and most flexibility so that I could continue going to school full time. I quickly came to the conclusion that corrections was the wat to go. I'm working for Wexford at the Miss. State Pen. Base is 18, 8 hour shifts, When I work in the ER I get an extra 25 dollars per shift, some places there give you 50 dollar shift bonus. I average between 20-24 depending on where and when I'm working. The work is really laid back. When I'm in the hospital it takes me 2 hours to do everything I need to do for my shift. I'm moving to Texas (Houston area) in March 08 and I'm hoping I can continue working in corrections atleast until I complete my RN. I was a little un-nerved at first, but like others here have said, they really treat nurses different. I've had no problems thus far. The officers tell me its because of my size. I'm an NPC National Level bodybuilder so most inmates ask me workout questions. I have to be honest, when they thank me, I tell them that if it wasn't for them I would'nt have a job. They really seem to appreciate hearing that.

I passed, and it was pure torture waiting 5 days, the more time that went by the more I felt like a failure. Glad it's over...........for now!! LOL Sorry it took so long to respond, had my AF Reserve weekend. Anyway, I did not have a whole lot of the questions with the drop down box. I had 1, and a classmate of mine had 10. I only had 3 pharm calculations, mostly med surg and priority of care, and some drug questions. It sounds like you passed.

The suspense is killing me. I took it at pearsonvue and Mississippi does not participate in the "quick results". Imagine that!! It stinks because 48 hours after the test would fall on Saturday of the 3 day weekend. I'm hoping they post tonight at midnight (tuesday). Does anyone know when I should expect the results. The test shut off at 85. I scored in the 800's on hesi and that is before I ever began studying for boards. I am a nervous wreck!!
