I am hoping some of you can answer a question for me. I am a man and an ICU nurse. I have been offered a part time job at our county jail. The pay is good and I am looking forward to learning about a different area of nursing.
My question is regarding female inmates. I am concerned about being put in a position where my license would be put at risk in a he said / she said. I would be the only medical person in the facility during the hours I work. I asked the DON would I ever have to be alone with prisoners and she said not often but possibly yes as they are a small facility with limited personnel. I had some experience dealing with manipulative people while dealing with POWs in the army, but not females. I am a very happily married man with a good reputation and I do not want to risk that or my license.
I wold really like to take this job if I can resolve this concern. Any advice?
