Congratulations. I currently work for the California Department of Corrections.

correctional nursing for the state can be busy and wild, i agree. certainly, that was the case at florence central unit. however, the smu yards can be very slow and dull --- or crazy --- but slow and nothing to read is not fun.

So here we all are discussing how to satisfy requirements that are impossible to satisfy. And no it is not possible to adequately clean and dry someone who is at a 45 degree angle -- without enough CNAs and there are never enough. What a fantasy land nursing is.

Arizona has lots of inmates and is advertising desperately for nurses. However, they lack follow-through and follow-up in the hiring process. I am not sure whether anyone in upper management really cares whether they hire staff nurses or not. Additionally, although other correctional systems in which I have worked allow staff to bring in reading material to pass the time when there is nothing to do, Arizona prohibits it. Therefore you can wind up staring at the wall and thinking you will die of boredom. I can put up with many things, but I cannot put up with utter boredom shift after shift. Which is why I withdrew my application with AZDOC.

I am a graduate of Salisbury University's nursing program. What do you want to know? Besides the fact that the faculty is composed of nurses who don't know anything about nursing? They don't give a rat's a--- about the needs of their students. There are one or two exceptions, of course. I thought it was a poor program, but I don't know what another would be like. Most nurses go up to Delaware to get their nurse practitioner Master's because the nursing program at SSU is a PIA. I would also say that the relationship between the school of nursing and the local hospital is not the most collaborative one.

Kansas is not one of the nursing compact states. If you go to another state from Kansas, you will need to become licensed in that state.
