My cousin is a co for California and he says most of the inmates are very respectful to healthcare personnel. I just hope someone on here has worked for one of the institutions and can tell me what it is like. I'm ready for a change

Applied for a juvenile detention center job, my question is, adult corrections, anyone have experience at one of these facilities? I work at a local hospital in Tucson have had inmates from the federal pen. The guards have told me to go federal, that alot of state employees are going to federal because a lot of state prison employees are going to federal... and that is "sucks"there. Im tired of the hospital setting, admissions at shift change while you have several other patients you dont know... hospital politics, wiping butts, etc. Ive seen a lot of people say how they love correctional nursing, I am jealous, i want to say I love my job. Only thing holding me back right now is to go from a job i hate and go to a job that is worse......... So stressed right now.

I have long stalked these threads and I have learned either you love corrections or hate it. I am on a cardica unit and work nights. We have 6 patients at night. The best part is sometimes when change of shift is going on you get a new admission which makes you drop everything to take care of that patient while the others are on their call lights for something. To me that is very stressful. Some nights you have people on amio or dobutamine drips etc... I am a fairly new nurse, itll be a year in september. I have always wanted to go to ER but ER is full. Corrections to me is intriguing, its a whole new world, plus the pay is very good here. Benefits etc... I just want to know what goes on on a typical day at the prison... I also dont want to go to corrections and hate my job even more than I hate my current job.
