I have worked 17 yrs in corrections and you know just what you are dealing with. On the 'outside' you have to take a pt. medical history as they tell it. Besides how many parolees have you encountered? Yep you just don't know what you are dealing with in the public sector. At my facility you can always have a officer stand near you at any time. Seems once inmates hit corrections they want ALL of the tests done. TB testing is mandatory also. I agree with the previous poster that I feel safer in the jail than in the mall. The most fraustrating thing that I have encountered is non licensed people telling the RN's, on occasion how and what to do! But if you just go about your duties you will be fine. Hope this helps. If nothing else try it you have nothing to lose?
Would you like to comment?
