It's been 16 years since I graduated from NSU in Shreveport, but the education was excellent! Good luck in your studies!

We use it and call it "Nutraloaf". Kinda looks like hogshead cheese:D It is used as a management tool for inmates who refuse to eat regular meals appropriately. It can only be given for 48 hours and can not be given to inmates that are IDDM. Great d...

They have the right to refuse just like any other patient. We frequently send the inmate in just to have them refuse and then 12 hours later they change their mind and want another trip to the ER.

I work as the Health Services Director for a 1070 bed county jail. All of the medical staff are full-time sheriff's office employees (we are all sworn deputy sheriff's). I have held this position for over 9 years now. Recently, the county commission ...

Now I remember why I left the ER about 10 years ago:rolleyes: But ya know what, lately I've been REALLY thinking about going back. I still miss it. But I know you're going have days;)

Takes me about 25-30 minutes. I live out in the country too:) Wouldn't have it any other way. Oh and Mike, love your dobe. I can't wait to finish building my house so I can get another dobe. They sure are wonderful dogs.:)

Been there done that too;). I LOVED the ER but the hours were killer. Was never there much for my son and husband, working weekends and holidays, etc. Took the job I have now had for 10 years with Mon-Fri 9 to 5 weekends and holidays off. Took an alm...

Got an AMEN from me.

Yup:D Ain't it a great little place;) Small town America when I was little but it has grown up too:)

When we send inmates to the hospital they are accompanied by a deputy and are in leg irons and handcuffs. If they are admitted, we hire a guard service to watch them. They remain cuffed to the bed with a leg iron and have no phone or visitors. If the...

Hi to all Louisiana nurses from here in the Northwest Corner of our fair state. I work in Shreveport. Hope to talk to ya'll soon. Sheila :)

Actually, I lived on the Virginia side:) Beautiful country.

Anyone live near Homewood?? That's my hometown.

Hey Jnette, I used to live in Bluefield;) does that count?

Layoffs from where:eek:

The pay is pretty good up here for both LPN's and RN's. NSU has a good bridge program for LPN to RN and also a good ADN program. Good luck in school we need more nurses:) Oh yeah, I am a RN graduate of NSU's ADN program back in 1991;)
