Correctional Medical Services Employer Reviews

When I first took the job With CMS, it was my first time working in correctional nursing. I was a bit apprehensive, but I now find it to be rewarding working in an underserved population.

current difficulties preclude a happy work environment
long hours
over management
poor vacation allotment for hours worked

I loved working for my supervisors with Corizon. I was a nurse at a prison. I was taught alot of different skills. Soon after I was hired, I became the non-compliant nurse and was able to educate the offenders about the importance of taking their meds. I loved that!!!

This is an easy job, but there is no supervision to be sure the job is getting done correctly. Great co workers, not a place to work as a new graduate.

Correctional Medical Services is a title that is self explanitory,supplying Department of Corrections inmates with medical supplies sent in from the pharmacy also some other medical procedures as needed.

worked in a clinic setting within a minimum security facility. The providers did a good job with the inmate population. Most the staff was helpful but management wasn't as supportive to the nursing staff.

Loved the other prison I worked at. The new prison I am currently at is questionable?

I found this job to always be something new and educational with each new inmates care. I felt the pay rate was competitive and the benefits were fair.

Lack of structure related to medical and security cooperation. Inadequate number of medical personnel with correctional experience. Turn over of professional staff, such as physicians, complicates and extends decision making process related to options of medical care. Antiquated equipment, such as radio's, make communication unpredictable.

CMS had a very stream lined approach to care for the inmate population.

I would still be there today but I was prn with full time hours and they could not give me benefits due to the fact there was someone on worksmens comp. They could not offer me her benefits until the case was settled.
