Hello All!!


I am working on a new contract with the department of corrections- this is the first time I have ever worked with them.   Is anybody a prison nurse?  Could anybody tell me if they worked for an agency how much they would like to make?


Thank you so much for your help!!

At least $5-10/hr more than the nurses who are employees,  since no benefits are supplied.

I worked in prisons for > 15 years- from staff to administrator. Unfortunaately the pay for correctioal nurses does not have hazardous duty pay. It usually is comfortable to hospital nursing in your area  with shift dif. As a prn, it should be abot $4 dollars more. Hold on to your guns because they are in desperate need of nurses to work in that environment.

Since nursing salaries varies from state to state,city to city, really need to know what where you're inquiring about.
