I'm currently trying to decide between psych nursing on a forensic unit at a state facility or a women's prison without an infirmary. I've been a nurse for one year and worked in med surge and home health nursing. I've always had an affinity for psych however I've had one for criminal justice too. I feel like I can be compassionate to inmates yet fair and I really don't know what to expect from the forensic unit. How do nurses help those who need to become competent to stand trial? Do you have any advice for me?
