Hi where I work we do the finger stick through the window ofthe nurses trap then we do the insulin the same way. there are some nurses that insist on using a treatment room for insulin but that is mostly for the medical unit (think prison meets nursing home). I wouldn't feel comfortable giving most of my inmates a syringe.

Well its 7 months later (since my original post). I am still in corrections at the same facility (med/max state prison.) I also work at a county jail too. I really like corrections. Overall I feel fine doing what I do. In the prison I work in the infirmary and don't have to worry about all the diabetics (there are 58 on one side of the compound). No biggy though. I just remain alert of my surroundings and go about my business.

Its risky yes... but so is just about anywhere you go.
