2. Mystery illnesses

   Lpark27 posted a topic in Correctional

   Hi everyone. I've worked in a local county jail for about one year now and I'm wondering how others deal with this type of situation. We have a new inmate who insists on many medical problems such as back pain, stomach problems, coughing up blood, et...

   I have an Excel chart I made of hormones while in nursing school but I can't seem to attach it here. I can email it to you if you contact me on private message... I don't know how to do that...

4. Soon-to-be LPN with a question...

   Lpark27 replied to Ms. Sherman's topic in Correctional

   I work for a county jail under PHS and I suppose it really just comes down to benefits. I haven't had a need to deal directly with PHS on anything so the only opinion I have is based on the benefits. They're not the best but certainly better than som...

   I'm in the LPN program at SCTI right now! I decided on this route instead of waiting for RVCC. I probably wouldn't have started RVCC until Sept '05 so I'll finish LPN, get working and then go back for the bridge program.

    Coolatta, No, the online way did not work for me either! I'm trying to think of the woman's name from the Nursing Admin office, Connie something....... Just call there and ask for the woman in charge of hiring PCT's. I don't have any experience work...

    Lpark27 replied to coolatta19's topic in New Jersey
