  1. Flu shots for inmates

    CCHP-RN posted a topic in Correctional

    Has anyone seen any specific guidelines for inmates who should receive the flu shot? We have a limited number of flu shots available and with the current CDC guidelines, MANY of our inmates meet...

  3. Bullhead City

    CCHP-RN replied to tantalus's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Bullhead city - don't know much about it other than it is attached to Laughlin, NV. Tons of casinos with good gambling. The company I work for provides medical care at a prison in Kingman, AZ, which...

  4. Epi-pen protocols?

    CCHP-RN replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in Camp

    I know this is a little late, but it might help for future issues. I work in correctional health care which has to have patient care protocols. We can't have prescription medications on our...

  5. Director of Nursing in Corrections? Pay? Description?

    CCHP-RN replied to cindyrn1's topic in Correctional

    I don't know what kind of pay CMS pays for DON. As far as the job description, CMS may be different, but in our company, A DON is responsible for ensuring the clinic runs smoothly, staffing, dealing...

  6. Flu shots for inmates

    CCHP-RN replied to CCHP-RN's topic in Correctional

    Don't you know, they get better health care than most of the WORLD! The issues I have revolve around our federal units. It is a mandatory standard that our federal prisoners (at most of our units,...

  7. Flu shots for inmates

    CCHP-RN replied to CCHP-RN's topic in Correctional

    I totally agree with you about wanting to keep the FLU out of the prisons. Looks like my company has a better number of FLU shots available to the inmates than TDCJ, however there is still a major...

    CCHP-RN replied to domenica's topic in Texas Nursing

    A year or two ago I saw $50,000 sign on bonuses in the Houston area. I also heard that you would be crazy to work at some of those places. Who

  9. Where are the real prisons located?

    CCHP-RN replied to Blackcat99's topic in Correctional

    I don't know of anyplace COLD in Texas, but much better than South Texas. South Texas is hot and humid most of the year, not as hot in the winter, but usually no snow. You might check out Amarillo....

  10. Where are the real prisons located?

    CCHP-RN replied to Blackcat99's topic in Correctional

    Stay away from BOP and other federal facilities. The pay is good, but they have more rights than my staff and are not required to work. NM babies their inmates and gives them whatever they want. TX...

  11. Lubbock TX anyone??

    CCHP-RN replied to SarahCeleste's topic in Texas Nursing

    I've lived in Lubbock all of my life. I've worked at the two major hospitals in town and definitely prefer University Medical Center over Covenant. I worked at UMC for 8 yrs and Covenant for 9...

    Welcome to the corrections board!! I am director of nurses for a small private correctional healthcare company. We also see quite a large turnover in several of our facilities. I think there are...

  13. New NCCHC standards for jails

    CCHP-RN replied to Crawsu's topic in Correctional

    I am the director of nurses over several different prisons and jails. Most of our facilities have a small Segregation unit (less than 50), but since you have a larger one, I would recommend splitting...

  14. New NCCHC standards for jails

    CCHP-RN replied to Crawsu's topic in Correctional

    We use a flow sheet on each inmate. We created it in excel. It pretty much looks like a regular nurses note. It has a column for: date, time, comments, signature. So far it has worked for NCCHC....
