Hello to all fellow nurses!I just received my LVN license this month (january 8th, 2009-yay!) and have found correctional nursing interesting. My grandfather retired as a CO at Rikers Island in NY. I live in central Texas in a military community(Fort Hood). I would like to know have any of you ever worked or work now, in a correctional facility, and if so, how is it-as far as skill experience, benefits and pay, and safety(i'm a female) I do have past medical experience-I was an Army medic, phlebotomist, I also have worked as a medical assistant and nursing assistant. I have an interview Feb 9th of 2009!! I applied for the part time and the prn positions because I'm taking online courses for prerequisites for BSN...
Any information would be excellent.
thank you!!

My sister has been an LPN at a male max prison for 13 yrs and all she does is pass out meds...thier job is restricted at correctional setting. Mainly I think because I heard its real easy to lose your license there.
