    RocknRollYogaRn posted a topic in Correctional

    I have been working corrections since 2003. I am tired, bored and not too happy with the management. I do like corrections, but feel I need a month or two off to regroup and feel like a 30 something...

    RocknRollYogaRn replied to RocknRollYogaRn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    RocknRollYogaRn replied to DisneyDreamin's topic in Correctional

    MBT's are good shoes. I agree they make your legs/butt/feet hurt the first few days but it's a good hurt like after a really good workout hurt. Expensive, but worth

  6. Help?!? What should I do?

    RocknRollYogaRn replied to greengoosepumpkin's topic in Correctional

    What state are you from? I don't think a new nurse should be going into corrections. There is just too much independent practice. I don't think a new nurse is ready for it. It's not risk getting into...

  10. Privatized Prisons

    RocknRollYogaRn replied to texascowgirl's topic in Correctional

    I bought the books from the NCCHC. I can honestly say they helped a lot. The test wasn't easy but doable if you studied. The only bad part is that to keep the certification you must renew every year...

  12. Where do you draw the line

    RocknRollYogaRn replied to coontlh0's topic in Correctional

    RocknRollYogaRn posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was told yesterday that I won't get paid for two days I called off sick. I was told I need a doctor's note, or I won't get paid. I have earned the time. I have never been told no before. This is a...

    RocknRollYogaRn replied to Kashia's topic in Correctional

    Not all nurses act like that. Please don't put us all in the same boat. There are a lot of miserable people, however, that work corrections including custody and medical staff. I have been in...
