2. Should I get Essentials of Correctional Nursing?

   Guest371144 replied to MiaTrace's topic in Correctional

   Hi, Mia: My opinion is a bit biased since I am one of the authors of the book you mention. It was written with you in mind - a nurse new to corrections who wants to ramp up quickly. I am not permitted to advertise a blog on this site but if you googl...

8. How do you account for sharps?

   Guest371144 replied to msalpas's topic in Correctional

   I have seen several ways to account for sharps. The best is to have a double lock on the long-term supply and take out packs of ten for use. This is for sharps such as needles and syringes. There is some type of log to draw down the active supply so ...

   Congratulations on joining our great specialty, Evelyn. You'll do will with a psyche background. ER nursing experience helps, too ). Uniforms and medical records are specific to the system so I can't comment on that. Hopefully someone working CDRC wi...

14. Charging for Meds

    Guest371144 replied to schmoltz's topic in Correctional

    I am used to a system like Danielle mentioned above. Chronic care meds aren't charged but sick call and OTCs were. There is also OTC meds available through the commissary.

15. Pre-pouring or Preparing, That is the Question

    Guest371144 replied to Dwifey's topic in Correctional

    As long as you only give out meds that you yourself prepare, you should be OK. However, you are right to be concerned because there is more opportunity for error, especially if you don't label the packages clearly with name and ID#. You should not ad...
