   ~Transplant Nurse~ replied to UGADawgs's topic in Online Learning

   The campus requires one independent study as the last class. I believe you must find your own preceptor. My friend is an NP, so I plan on doing mine with her. Otherwise, the whole program is online. As for books, I rent mine electronically for my iPa...

12. Attention Prison Nurses!!!

    ~Transplant Nurse~ replied to ~Transplant Nurse~'s topic in Correctional

    Sounds like nobody likes the prison nurse job! Thanks for the responses. One more question, and this may be a dumb one. Is there always a physician present in prisons? I'm guessing not. Also, would you have to write the BG's down, or did you have a ...

    Interesting. The assignment was to come up with a proposal that would outline a program that incorporated telemedicine in diabetic prisoners. I just don't see how this would work without giving inmates access to needles or lancets.
