A prison nurse also known as a correctional nurse makes an average annual salary of $68,000.00
The salary of a prison nurse can vary depending on the prison nurses qualifications and the prison they are working in.
Either way the prison nurse works in a dangerous environment and doesn't earn enough money for what they do and where they work.
If I were to be a nurse I would rather work in a hospital or as a home health nurse instead of in a prison.
Besides I would feel like I was living my life in prison even though I was just working there.
But usually being a prison nurse is OK for most people and some prison nurses enjoy their jobs.
