How is your new career in Corrections?

Thanks for the advice. Do you enjoy correctional nursing? What is a typical day like in this field for an LPN?

I'm an lpn with 3yrs ltc experience, relocating to florida for a new career in corrections. I could use some advice. The pay is lower than expected, about $17.50hr, but state benefits. I have never worked in corrections. I need some insight please....the shift is 7a-7p twice a week, and 8a-4p twice a week, alternating. I currently make $29.10hr, but the cost of living is so high in nj, my rent is well over $1,450 not including utilities, cable, etc...looking into a few apartments in florida with great rents and amenities, heard the cost of living is much better. I would love to hear from anyone in corrections (especially in florida) who could give me some insight asap, thanks...
