It depends where you work.I work Corrections in Florida and love it. Check more into the facility first before making up your mind.The wage is good.Is the company PHS?

Corrections has its drawbacks but to imply that many corrections nurses could not cut it any place else is a poor overall assessment.I work with and have worked with some awesome nurses in Corrections.When the only one in charge is you and there is n...

That is so sad.Its mostly because the inmates are mad that they got caught and are in jail.Some are looking to take as many people down with them as they can.They are locked up for a reason.I often tell the co's I work with that I am so glad for the...

Hey I just found one on Delphi tonight.It was at TNT Recruiting they pay was like sixty and hour.Go figure...corrections a specialty

never had it happen.They would have to stay in the brigg.

I pour according to the mar at the pod door checking id's and watching them swallow.This new jail though has KOP meds which floors me.I have never been allowed at the other facility to hand over a persons meds for them to keep in the pod.You are not...

Hey they did have some jobs in Northern Cal listed which I have heard is one of the most beautiful places to be.Plus you get alot of perks like same day medical and an apartment and gas money etc.If the pay is good you can maybe do only two three mo...

Heres what I tell them.I just state,"Its because you are in jail.Just take your pills and go about your business." I don't change my demeaner and keep on pulling up pills by the mar and calling out the next name.You have to be professional.Straight ...

Hey just an ups I was on Delphi forums tonight and I saw that there is a travel staffing company paying corrections RN's like sixty bucks an hour.No kidding.The LPN's are getting 32.00 and hour.Its not the only company I have seen do this either.I go...

I moved to Florida but am still in corrections.I worked for Lafayette Parish Correctional its staffed through agencies.I staffed with Nursefinders.

Yes I am doing the same search.Maxim does.There is a staffing site as well on line.Google for it.

Just my thoughts but it seems the thing incarcerated women need training on the most is community services and common usable information. Most don't have job skills or any idea how to get a college education or where to apply for housing etc.Many are...

Hey that is very encouraging.I have also wanted to get an RN degree.I just had to raise my kids first.I am a good nurse and love nursing.We do the same work.I just want the pay raise.I make about the most I can as an LPN with thirteen years experienc...

Here is my newest technique: For those who continually complain of chronic allergic rhinitis and are on the most expensive allergy meds possible but are still calling the line for "medicine." I now visit them and teach them how to clean out their n...

Well I disagree totally.I have met some of the best nurses where I work. We have codes all day long and they can hang with the best. Corrections is where your BCLS will come in handy.

I am on my feet for most of my ten hour shift.I wear Free Spirit shoes during the week and Crocs for the weekends.Plus you can clean the crocs easy due to the places nursing takes us on our feet....lol..

I work in a facility that houses both minimum and maximum security inmates.We have about 1300 men and women. I just treat them like people. You cannot recognize who is a murderer etc just looking at them. Those who you would think are aren't

1. How long was your training prior to working in the prison? Four days.I am agency 2. Do you feel the self defence course offered prepared you for attack? None was offered but I took karate prior to working here. 3. How would you react to being ta...

Yep just happened day before yesterday. I go down to intake to get a blood pressure on a new roll in. They have three females in a cell.One is crying and saying...help help help us.I get the deputy.We call a code as one of them is on the floor appear...

Never heard of it but the idea sounds good.Only if you ever worked corrections could you apprieciate the idea.

I found my job on Career builders on the net

God forbid you should put the scale on med call cart.You will never leave for the day..lol..

Its pretty negative but I keep myself on a positive thought process and treat each person with dignity.I don't like being put in risky situations though they sometimes arrise.
