Mike,I am thinking about becoming a nursing student.I am currently the physical plant mgr. at AZ.State Prison Phoenix West.It is a min.security adult male facility with 400 DUI inmates.We have a medical unit with 2 or 3 nurses, one of which is male.It is a different environment and there are few pblms. on our yard.The nurses seem to have a fairly routine job and not very often stressful.You may look into lower custody facilities first to get a feel of the environment.The higher custody yards will be much more stressful and have higher risks for you. There are some privately run facilities such as GEO Group that hire nurses.Go online and there may be a facility near you that you can check out. I would consider a lower custody unit myself as a place to work. Hope this helps a bit. Jon
