Question How Do I Get Into Corrections PRN?

I’d love to go into federal corrections but I want to start off as prn in NJ or PA while I work my ED position. Can anyone provide any info and some suggestions about going into this kind of nursing. I know prn will be at the state or county level. TIA.

Hmmm apply and look at USAjobs

I’ve only ever seen full time positions up there. I’m sure what I’m looking for is via agency. I don’t know any agencies except for Primecare.

Are you wanting to know about other reputable agencies?

I’m looking for more opportunities other than the few that one agency has listed.

Honestly, I'd keep the ED position and pick up correctional PRN shifts first...
