The hours vary byfacilities, but in general there is an AM shift (7-3) and PM shift (12-8) inall facilities as well as an overnight shift (7p-7a) in our Detention Centers.These hours may vary some by facility. We have several different types offacilities within our department, but the main ones that we staff with nursingare Detention Centers, Youth Development Centers, and Group Homes/ATD:

Detention Centers (DCs): These are sort of the “firststop” for youth who come to our system. They are high turnover facilities,typically with the highest census out of the 3. These are youth that are notyet committed to DJJ, and most of the time are either waiting for placement orfor court.

Youth Development Centers (YDC’s): These are youth thatare committed to us and staying at this facility for a certain amount of time.Most of these are camp style bunking, but they all live at the facilities 24/7.

Group Homes/ATD: These are lower level facilities thatstill house youth 24/7, however the max out typically around 8-9 youth. Most ofthem are actual houses that have been converted over to a facility. We usuallyonly need about 4 hours of nursing care here.
