Unfortunatly this is a sad but typical scenerio in all fields of nursing, they are dealing with shortages so they allow these nurses to continue. Because most likely charted correctly, you know the saying if it isn't charted it wasn't done, well the same goes if it was charted with some it was never done, but the paper work says it was. Thanks to frivolous law suits!! Bad nurses have no worrry, their jobs are safe, until they are arrested for negligent hommicide or forging presciptions. Sad but true.

Thanks for the reply. I've been an LPN for 26 years, and I can run circles around alot of RNs, Thanks for the encouragement. I wish I could just take the stateboard, and be done with it. Thanks again

I started The Rue Program, not much help here, is there anyone out there to help me get started again, I was motivated at first then I got lost in their study guides, Thanks for letting me vent.

The biggest suggestion I can give to any nurse wanting to go into corrections is to read a book called Games criminals play, never vary from the suggestions given in this book, Have plenty of OJT, have good diagnostics skills, believe me there really are critically ill pts in jail, as well as good cons, learn to differentiate Have worked in corrections for 12 years, I have never been harmed, give respect and you will receive respect. Always remember where you work. And treat the officers with respect as well, we are considered necessary evils, no one likes healing a child molester or murderer or rapist, but remember we are nurses not the judge jury or executioner. Good Luck, Big Big Plus is the pay.

Vicks Vapor rub is the best for all foul smelling odors, plus with time you will get used to it, trust me.
