    CCHP-RN replied to jamangel's topic in Correctional

    We have lost MANY nurses to this behavior. In Texas the nurse can be filed on with criminal charges, listed as a sex offender from now on, and lose his/her nursing license. I'm sorry, but I worked...

  2. Not nursing related

    CCHP-RN replied to banditrn's topic in Correctional

    This can be a problem at times. It totally depends on who runs the jail and whether or not they are allowed to let their inmates work. Most of the prisons we contract with are pretty clean because...

  10. Finding Correctional Jobs

  11. Is it hard to get in?

    CCHP-RN replied to marshalbc77's topic in Correctional
