Hello, nurses! I have an interview for a small county jail that is managed by QCHC next week. Can anyone tell me what to expect? Types of questions asked? Pointers? I have 23 years experience as an LPN but nothing remotely to do with corrections. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
There is an older and very lengthy thread that is filled with great information about interview questions for nursing in Correctional Facilities: Common Correctional Nursing Interview Questions
I will be writing an Article about Correctional Nursing which will include common interview questions (health-care related as well as common questions about working in a Correctional Facility that contains non-health care related questions).
I will try and get this written soon and hope to help others as they consider this specialty career area. The Article will contain some common scenarios regarding treating the inmate.
Good luck with your interview, but please review the link I gave you above. You have quite a lot of experience that will benefit you in this area.
