Let me guess --- Atascadero?

You poor baby. You sound just like me 13 years ago. I thought nursing was about caring for the sick and dying, too -- not giving patients a lick and a prayer and hurrying off to finish paperwork...

Genuine respect is respect given for admirable character, speech, actions and accomplishments. Not out of fear and intimidation and/or manipulation and deceit. I do not alter my care. That's...

My inmates come to me because they call me "the real nurse." Nevertheless, it is ironic that respect is so important to them. It is also easy to understand why. They have never received any...

It's all very well to advise "be consistent"; however inmates generally have limited intelligence, despite their manipulative prowess. Therefore, many times, do not understand why one patient is...

I loathe Arpaio. Think he is rabid. So thrilled about the high judgement against them in the death of that young man years ago.

Respect -- ironic, isn't it?

Arizona is like Texas, as you described it. California is a strange, strange world where the inmates run things, but at the same time they don't. I suppose because the CDC is such a behemoth and so...

I have never heard of it in California, Virginia or Arizona (natcherly) prisons. Seems like a custody issue to me. Theoretically, the COs are responsible for protecting the inmates from danger and...

The addresses for the Maricopa County Jails are: 3225 W. Durango 102 W. Madison St. 3127 W. Gibson Lane It seems to be south of the 10 where 17 curves and turns into the 60, if I am...

i have agreed to work at the maricopa county detention center for 13 weeks. :uhoh3: can anyone direct me to safe, relatively clean housing that is not more than a half hour commute from the durango...

No slight intended. I guess saying it is simple sounds like an insult, but I only meant that teachers and textbooks can really complicate it and muddy the waters. I regret becoming a nurse. ...

My first recommendationis ALWAYS to stay out of nursing. However, when it comes to biology, try to think of the organism in a mechanical way. Anatomy and physiology are easier that way --...

Are you nuts? Atascadero is ghastly! Not that I have ever been there, but I have worked in two California prisons and heard very scary stories. Worked with one psych tech who had been at...

I interviewed at Bullhead City in the summer of 1997. It is small and hotter than H__L. :angryfire I didn't take the job, but that was because of family considerations. Nevada has no state...

We all have to do our part to stem the tide. And, as you know, everything is The Nurse's responsibility. (I am sort of joking and sort of not.)

you are a tiger! go get em! i was going to do a travel gig in bakersfield, but looks like i have gotten a permanent position in tucson. oh, boy! good luck to you. em

Actually, I was joking about calling Donna Dorsey at home. Barbara Mikulski's contact information can be obtained on-line. I expect I will be going up to Baltimore next week and my daughter...

Have you tried calling Donna Dorsey at home? You could try one of the state senators. Barbara Mikulski is usually responsive. The MD BON has screwed up every license they have issued to me,...

Sounds pretty standard. I wish I had good advice. Well, I do have good advice, but can't follow it myself. Don't let the disrespectful, surly, uncooperative guards make your blood boil. They are...

They are advertising and I am wondering whether anyone can tell me something about the facility in Anne Arundel Country, Maryland. Thanks

Thanks, I appreciate the info. My sister and I are both seriously considering a move to Boise.

Can you at least tell us what state this jail is in? I am looking for another correctional job and I don't want to wind up in a state where the jail guards are as stupid as the ones you deal with. ...

The only thing demanding about nursing school is that it is taught by nurses and they don't have any idea how to teach. The lectures are baffling and the test questions are stupid. Usually there is...

i don't currently have an insane manager, but the outstanding example from the past was a don in ltc. she informed me one day that the pharmacist had called and wanted to know why we (i) had ordered...
