Psych nursing experience enough?!

I just quit my dream job. My new boss was evil incarnate...I had to leave before I lost my mind. (Long story for another thread). I had an 8:00am to 4:30pm job as an office manager at a geriatric outpatient counseling program. I got to do some co-facilitating of therapy group sessions and I was doing most of the education groups (which I LOVED). Before this job, I worked over 13 yrs in a psych hospital.

I'm an LPN with a BS in psychology. I'm applying for a job at a min. security facility close to my home. I was thinking my 13 years working in a psych hospital would be great experience but then, after reading several threads in this forum....now, I'm not so sure!

What do LPNs do in a correctional facility?

Any advice or words of wisdom would be appreciated.....

Some places LPN's just pass meds. Others let them do nurse sick call.

At my facility they bombard me with questions all night. On the bright side every once and a while they make a fresh pot of coffee. :chuckle

You don't need much psych experience, those with real mental health problems cause the least amount of problems... give me a pod of truly schizophrenic inmates any day. For the rest, read up on anti-social personalities; these people will kill, steal, lie, manipulate anyone for anything without any remorse. They will be extremely pleasant and charming until you say "no".

P.s.

Don't marry an inmate.
