    Heroin addict; just for today.

    JMO- Thank you for your reply and encouragement! I actually have 29 days clean, oops! Everyday counts. I appreciate you telling me to focus on my recovery right now; that's what I've been doing and looked at it as a character flaw because I've actual...

    Heroin addict; just for today.

    Hello everyone, I have a long story but I am going to shorten it up. I am a heroin addict. I self-reported my addiction and checked into inpatient rehab the same day, August 31st. I now have 28 days clean under my belt and I am darn proud of that 28 ...

    Desperately Need Help With Care Plans

    I still receive notifications about new posts within this thread 3 years later. I love it! I wanted to share some information with all of you. Daytonite personally helped me with many of these careplans. https://danibanani.wordpress.com/nursing-carep...

    New HHC- fishy?

    Thanks a million for your responses. I called today and told one of the owners I declined the position and didn't feel comfortable working with them (even though I've been working but not getting paid!). The other owner has been burning up my phone- ...

    New HHC- fishy?

    Hi, everyone! Before I begin my questions, I need to state that I am a brand new HH nurse; although I do have nursing experience. This is a brand new HHC- in business for approximately 3 months. I'm just curious if this is the norm, or if I am too ...
  6. Is a nursing license still at risk if a nurse has a personal relationship with a patient after their professional relationship has been terminated?

    What is the med pass like at your DOC

    I like to think of a sallyport as a front porch. You can only open one door at a time. They are big, heavy, locked doors. In my DOC, the little port in the actual door is called a cuffport. Hope this helps.

    What is the med pass like at your DOC

    Yes... it's that bad. We have a system with a sallyport. There are two windows. We literally pass meds to hundreds of inmates a night. If you have a good team- we can kick 'em out in 1.5 hours. It was really intimidating at first, but I've grown...

    Sick of being a nurse in the Prison

    There are some great replies here. I'm with the majority- I really like corrections. I know it sounds silly, but I feel like I make a difference on most days... even if they are criminals. Sometimes we are the only advocates in the world these me...

    Cheeking Wellbutrin

    From what I'm told Wellbutrin acts as a stimulant when crushed. Crazy! The inmates say the rush is a lot like cocaine but is considerably shorter lasting.

    SNY

    Don't be afraid to say "no". Tell them to pull up their pants if you can see their boxers. Tell them to get their hands out of their pants. Be prepared to explain to them about their meds. Sometimes they'll refuse them. Explain to them that the drug...

    Leaving work at work.

    Pandora- Thank you so much for your response. I absolutely love psych nurses- I always said I couldn't do your job- but it looks like I'm doing it. I've thought about my corrections career as a whole for the past few days. The pro's and con's, th...

    Leaving work at work.

    One of the reasons why I decided to go into correctional nursing was so I could leave work at work and I would not care so much for my patients. But, these patients are so mentally ill. I can't fix the problem. I can't give them that magic pill or...
