Desert Waters Correctional Outreach

Recently I’ve started on my 31st year of nursing. I have worked everything from level 1 to level 6 mental health. I have enjoyed being a correctional nurse for the last 13 years, but I have had the same feelings as correctional officers do, from being stressed to feeling burned out to hating my job. Nursing staff are viewed in a wide range of different opinions from giving inmates what they want to what I am called sometimes—cold hearted.
Being a RN in corrections is harder than it is on other side of 2 chain links fences. I answer to everyone but no one answer to me.
