CORRECTIONS NURSE | First Day As A New Grade Nurse In Correctional Health | My Non Bedside Job 🥳 .

[@SothisTheDog]

I work as a Community Health Worker on the city's jail team, and one of the things I love most is going to the jail to meet new clients. I'm also a nursing student and man, I cannot wait to be a jail nurse. I can do so much good as a nurse who also has so many connections outside the jail to resources. Other nurses keep telling me that I shouldn't go straight for correctional nursing, but I'm gonna do me.

[@NurseAviiiii]

go for it 🥳 honestly I like my job & dont regret going to bedside or the hospital .

[@S.O8294]

I’m a new grad and just got offered a position in corrections! I’m considering so this video was amazing for me!

[@NurseAviiiii]

glad it could help 🥳 I will be putting out more content and im on tiktok but I hope you love it too!

[@chrysoberieo7018]

So did you take the job? Curious 😉

[@anyib.3150]

How did you get the job as new grads?

[@NurseAviiiii]

[@NurseAviiiii]

[@kandacethompson1069]

I'm a new grad too. I'm interviewing next week as a corrections nurse. Please post a day in the life.

[@NurseAviiiii]

I most def will , if youre on tiktok I post more on there too .

[@jamieshough2791]

Dang! They charge to park?! That’s crazy. How much was it? 😮 that’s going to add up.

[@NurseAviiiii]

$6 a day & $3 on the weekends .

[@msalohakitty]

I always see corrections nurse jobs on indeed and they pay so good I’m thinking about it 🤔 is it scary? I worked as a nurse in a psychiatric facility before and man it was wild af 😩 good thing about the jail is you have actual guards with weapons tho

[@NurseAviiiii]

it was at first but being that one its jail 😂 & two im a new nurse but now I love my job, I would say its probably same as psych just in a jail setting. plus like you said you have guards with you always where I work so you will never do anything alone but no weapons at our just mace so if anything goes down its all man power and mace if need be.

[@BishimDeja]

Love this! Do you still work there? I want to do it after I graduate. My only this is I’m on the west coast, many of the jobs are 5 8’s I’d rather do 12s

[@NurseAviiiii]

yes maam I do! almost a year in & is it monday-friday?

[@BishimDeja]

@@NurseAviiiii yes it is Monday through Friday. Is yours 12s?

[@NurseAviiiii]

yeah it is .

[@NurseAviiiii]

@BishimDeja yes maam!

[@user-jx9hn2zj7l]

I have interviews whats questions they asked??

[@NurseAviiiii]

my interview was different since im already within the company but corrections wise it was safety questions & how I feel about people in jail.

[@Onlyme_CiCi]

Im soooo interested in this. Im currently bedside

[@NurseAviiiii]

its def an interesting job 😂 and far different than bedside! but you should try it, its like a hidden gem!

[@Onlyme_CiCi]

@AvionTaylor im hoping I can find something prn so I can get a lil feel for it first, then bye bye bedside lol

[@NurseAviiiii]

yeah I understand before fully committing to it! I hope you find something love!

[@chrysoberieo7018]

Why everyone say it’s not a good first job for a new grad. You don’t learn alit or get to polish your nursing skills. I understand why, because I’ve worked as a correctional officer. But how do you feel about it though?

[@NurseAviiiii]

I would agree if its a brand new nurse with zero medical experience but see me ive been a MA and PCT so ive worked office and hospital before soooo I didnt care about the " skills " or getting the bedside experience , i been there , done that & im completely okay with correctional health 😂 .

[@sharnettaNikole]

How is it working corrections? I am seriously thinking about switching, need something new.

[@NurseAviiiii]

honestly not too bad , it has its days but thats every job but the only complaint is my schedule tbh , i think I make good money coming in for the things we have to do and dont have to deal with .

[@sydneyjohnson6062]

Congrats 🎉 The jail ?!?!?!?

[@NurseAviiiii]

yes 😂 the jaaaaaail .
