  2. New job as correctional RN

    58flyer replied to ksbrn99's topic in Correctional

    Early in my LE career I worked for a while in the county jail as a CO. The only time a nurse got hurt was when this one gal decided that the officers used too much force to subdue violent inmates. She...

  5. Police Killed Our Patient

    58flyer replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Why exactly does that bother you? You said yourself that it isn't fair. It is not unreasonable to expect the actions of the officers to be investigated. With the value placed on human life I would...

  6. Police Killed Our Patient

    58flyer replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    A very interesting thread! I'm not a nurse yet so I hope no one objects to me jumping in here with my worth. I'm still in the law enforcement business so maybe I can contribute something useful....

    58flyer replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    An excellent comment I thought. Way to go boysmomrn ! Having some pride in something is fine, whether it's your favorite football team, race car driver, college, or the land of your

  10. female dr. male pt.

    58flyer replied to gth's topic in General Nursing

    I am firmly of the belief that anyone performing intimate exams/care on the opposite sex should have a chaperone present. That chaperone MUST be of the same sex as the patient or there is really no...

    58flyer replied to panamama's topic in General Nursing

    Is there any way you can have the information printed on both sides of the badge? That way it won't matter if it flips

  12. how do you introduce yourself to patients?

    58flyer replied to panamama's topic in General Nursing

    Drysolong, sorry I didn't see your question earlier, I musta just scanned right over it. How do you differentiate? I guess you just have to follow your gut instincts. I may be at an advantage since I...

  13. I'm confused!!

    58flyer replied to fayethlove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Kira, I would say go for the commuting for now. I know with gas prices way up that will be costly. But I think it will be more costly to move. Once you get there you might find someone commuting from...

  14. how do you introduce yourself to patients?

    58flyer replied to panamama's topic in General Nursing

    No doubt there is some justification to not providing your last name. But it begs the question, "If you don't trust me enough to let me know who is treating me, then why should I trust you to treat...

  15. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    58flyer replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    That's awesome! My version would be " Southern by birth, Georgian by the Grace of God!" I was born in Georgia, but raised in Florida. I still claim to be Georgian. Speakin' of Mississippi, I met many...

  16. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    58flyer replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    If being proud to be a Southerner is biased, then I'm guilty as charged! From these posts I see I am in very good

  17. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    58flyer replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I think it is just jealousy that anyone would bash your accent. The Southern accent is one of the most beautiful language dialects there is. Be proud of it and pass it along to your...

  18. Putting RN on license plate???

    58flyer replied to Kalico's topic in General Nursing

    Not always. If the LEO is part of a specialized traffic unit and their whole existence is based on the paperwork they generate, then maybe. But the guys (and gals) in patrol have a lot more...

  19. MALE Nurse, Female Police Officer, Female Dr.

    58flyer replied to likemike's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm sorry to hear that you had any kind of trouble with your peers as a police officer. Sure, you expect that kind of stuff from an ignorant public. I remember as a new officer fresh out of field...

    58flyer replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    I keep having this recurring dream following my involvement in the events after 9/11/01. Within days of the attack on the Twin Towers I was among a group of police officers from my agency who...

  21. Workplace violence

    58flyer replied to Ruthbud19's topic in Psychiatric

    HUH!? Since when are cops allowed to refuse to press charges? That's your decision, not theirs. You have made several posts about this incident, so it's obviously very important to you. That being...

  22. Hospital Discourages Pressing Charges Against Assaultive Patients

    58flyer replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Gooey that it's probably about $$$. Keep'em coming back if they're a paying customer. But you would think that worker's comp claims would make management strike a balance somewhere. Have...

  23. Natural Disasters in Florida

    58flyer replied to shadowcat80's topic in Florida Nursing

    As far as hurricanes go Jacksonville is the least likely to get a direct hit. This is because the jetstream dips down south during the hurricane season and tends to steer Atlantic storms away. But...

  25. Need advice...life threatened by pt's family today

    58flyer replied to SotaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with some of the other posters that it would be best if the pt was switched to another clinic. Just make sure that the next clinic is aware of the probs with the pt's family. As for the gun...
