hi. thank you for your immediate response and thanks as well for giving me a background of the work and pay there. I got hired in Ironwood prison in Blythe,Ca. where u at? although as ive said, its only for full time limited term. another thing Id like to ask is I just saw in the CPHC site that there's an opening for full time LVN in the bay area. Is it possible for me to just transfer my application there? or should I just push thru with the blythe one and then ask for transfer in a few months? is that possible? my family would prefer to move in the bay area and as I noticed, opening is for full time. one of the concerns I have in moving to blythe is the weather coz I know that its in the desert and my wife doesnt like that.

Thanks for your reply. I work in nurisng/rehab now. I was just offered the highest start pay for the prison job ($4200). I am so confused really. I dont have any idea about the place and I will have to relocate for the job. Do you work in prison? How is it? so u mean there's plenty of opportunity for OT? May i ask also, hows the pay? Is it every 2 weeks or 15/30 or once a month? Benefits start right away am I correct? I would love to hear more feedbacks so I will be enlightened and therefore be able to make a wise decision. Thank you so much.

hi all. im new to this site. anyway, i just want some advice from anyone here. I have been working as a treatment nurse /charge nurse in facilities for 5 yrs already. I just got recently hired and started March after being unemployed for some time. I was hired as charge nurse and sometimes being called in as treatment nurse when needed. i was just asked today that they want to get me as permanent treatment nurse. I am getting paid $25/hr here but not allowed OT. My problem is while unemployed I applied as LVN for prison and also got hired. they want me to start May 2nd. but they're hiring me for limited term and at the lowest pay which is around $3,800 i think. I asked why I'm being offered this since I have more than a year experience but they said I dont have experience in hosp or prison that's why I start at the lowest pay. I have been listing down the pros and cons but til now I am confused. Can anybody enlighten me? I badly need advice from anyone especially who has experiences working in both prison and facility. Thank you so much. Hope to hear from anyone soon before it's too late!!!
