I have just qualified as a mental health nurse and applied for a job in a prison.
I really struggle with childcare as a single parent and did throughout my training.
I have no clue what area of mental health I want to work. I didn't enjoy my training and very anxious about working in the field. However desperate to earn money so need to start somewhere. This job is ideal 4 days 8 - 4 for childcare. I'm just a little concerned about what the job will be like. Apparently you either love prison work or you hate it. How do I know if I have never tried it?
It's assessing new prisoners and taking part in group therapies.
Just wondering if there were any prison nurses out there who could tell me their experience.
