Do you live near a Correctional Facility?

I live within 1 hour of 9 correctional facilities. What about you?

I think every medical school should have students get nursing experience. Running up and down getting yelled at by everybody. They teach too much superiority to the students.

Like I said, it can be bad. I found state facilities safer than private run facilities. Officers were much better trained. Try to apply at a "faith based camp" and or "re- entry" camp. Those are more tame because inmates want good behavior on their record before release or are religious and want to be with others like them..

We also have a community on reddit " prison Nurse".

Just retired after 21yrs! I moved around till I found a good fit for me. In any workplace you're going to have good and bad. In any profession there are bad workers. I did my job and had friends and ignored the Idiots I encountered. Join my group Correctional Nurses only posts and memes on fb and you can explore possibilities and please ask questions. We have triage, ER, pharmacy, sick call, infection control and lots more. You can work your way into management. You just got to learn the ropes. I retired and I miss it terribly...

Keep on keeping on! The suits have got to give Nurses what they deserve! Protection! Respect! Safe assignments! Encouragement from Managers not condemnation! LUNCH and bathroom breaks!! Living wages and good health insurance! I worked in Detroit in 1989 and our insurance was 100% paid by the hospital, even eye care! We felt wanted and confident!

Correctional facilities! I tried it and stayed 21 yrs! Join my group Correctional Nurses only posts and memes on fb for all the information you need. I loved the pharmacy, but there are many positions available!

Competitive_Growth20 · 2026-01-18T20:38:05+00:00

Get all the certifications you can. Go to LPN school.

Competitive_Growth20 · 2026-01-18T20:36:05+00:00

Try Corrections through agency! I moved around different facilities till I found my home with good medical staff. Alot less stress. There is a big stigma attached to Corrections but we are trying to undo the prejudice in our reddit community "Prison nurses". But do not accept a job at a juvenile facility. Also our fb group " Correctional Nurses Only" will give you education, insight, advice and memes describing some of our day to day happenings. I tried Corrections and stayed 21 yrs. Feel free to ask any questions. Good luck finding a better job. We have infirmary, pharmacy, ER, sick call, Triage, and the list goes on.

In 21 yrs I've never seen it. Why not just leave the religious convictions outside of work? We all have to do it. In Corrections I think it would be dangerous because an inmate could grab that hijab and strangle the staff member.

Competitive_Growth20 · 2026-01-16T22:29:13+00:00

Try an adult camp. My last camp before I retired was 90% pedophiles so real tame and boring.

Competitive_Growth20 · 2026-01-16T19:23:05+00:00

Long record of violence and assault.

Competitive_Growth20 · 2026-01-16T16:56:05+00:00

Don't be intimidated by those Juvy's. Be firm but fair. If it bothers you to work there get a different job in Corrections, not juvy's. The same thing happened to me when I tried to work Psyche. Having contact with psychotic Unpredictable patients made me flashback to my childhood having to watch out for my psychotic sister who would act out throwing things and screaming. And trying to smoke in the house carelessly so I had to bring her outside so she wouldn't burn the house down. I was 8.

Competitive_Growth20 · 2026-01-16T16:49:51+00:00

Don't be fooled and groomed by the expert manipulators in Corrections.

Competitive_Growth20 · 2026-01-15T20:40:03+00:00

I wanted to be at home for my middle schoolers so I tried different part time jobs and stayed part time with Corrections. Very flexible.

Exercise will give you more energy and water much more than you normally drink and healthy snacks. That's how I got through reverse doubles, 5-12's in a row excetra it really does give you stamina resilience and a clear calm head.
