  1. HIPAA and Correctional Officers

    Mouth checks are safety and securities concern. The LT should post at med pass and check each inmate. If I have an at risk inmate refusing their anti-pyschotic meds I will give the pod Officer a heads up. In segregation med refusals are logged in the...
  2. C-diff Protocols?

    Nothing to add (except now I am thinking about writing a c-diff protocol) but Wooh your quote made me laugh out loud this morning...thanks!
  3. Thinking of going to corrections

    I am very lucky where I work: I had an officer tell me yesterday that when he was training a new officer he told them the nurses have it "dicked" here. I said what? He said "you all walk into work and have like 57 secret service agents ready to jump ...
  4. First Death Threat

    Why did other nurses give it if facility policy is no sleepers? Just sayin... I had one inmate yell "It's your job to give me what I want" which struck me as so funny that a laugh escaped before I could put on my game face (thinking hooker) to which ...
  5. New nurse still on orientation and first med error?

    I would have gotten the order. You had to call the MD any to report error right?
  6. "Bet you won't run from a police dog again."
  7. Orders for Offsite Procedure Prep

    I call my provider and get the order from them. All orders come from inside.
  8. Real vs fake chest pain

    I believe the above post is the answer they were looking for.
  10. Department of Corrections Nurse

    Just so this is clear; I am not a first responder, corrections is. I am on the scene only after a successful lockdown and security ok. Many of our Officers are EMT's, ex-, or current military and firefighters. They are extremely well trained and in e...
  11. Officer Appreciation Day?

    Sounds like your getting leg pulled...but what do I know. One nurse puts on an appreciation day for how many officers?
  12. Increase abuse of Bath Salts

    I am in a jail and all weekend its been bath salts. Does anyone have a detox protocal for this? Is one necessary? I think I am just going with medical confinement x 48 hours secondary to paranoia/increased SI. Keep em on a close watch. Anybody doing ...
  13. I/M cheeking and snorting meds

    Wellbutrin is known as poor mans cocaine. We have vveerry few XR/SR, it is not on our formulary secondary to cost.
  14. What to do after being fired.

    Getting fired is devastating. However I'd venture that it is pretty common in nursing. Part of the shark tank mentality that we allow to prevail. I bet a show of hands would turn up greater than 50%. Some take it as a badge of honor, because what it...
  15. Scrubs for Prison

    I just avoid orange...lol
