Do not even think about it!!! I have worked for PHS and would never do it again. They are definitely in it for the money and they make that abundantly clear to you!!! If you treasure your license you will run RUN RUN the other direction!!!

Dallas area private prisons pay RN's $18 per hour regardless of amount of experience.

I would not want to be the RN who supervises them. I have been in that position within Long Term Care and I was held liable if they screwed up. There is alot more litigation in Corrections compared to Long Term Care. I just think that someone is crazy for even making this suggestion.

I am totally confused!!! Are they nuts or what?? I understand the dilemma. However, this is not the answer!!!! I can see an abundance of liablitity not only to the facility but also to the health care staff. I mean CMA'S do not have the medical background which a nurse has and they certainly can not be used as such. CMA's have been used in long term care however their responsiblities have been limited!!! Unfortunately the use of CMA's even within that setting has been unsuccessful relating to the quality of care. CMA's just do not have an adequate knowledge base!!
