rose red RN

I am having trouble finding patient education for my pregnant inmates. It needs to be at a 5th grade reading level. Information such as what to do when breast milk comes, aftercare for lady partsl delivery, c-section incision care etc........ If any one could help me it would be greatly appreciated!

We use cardboard spacers for our inhalers. After each use you throw away the spacer. I dont know how much the box of spacers cost. We have recently started to cut the spacers in half to double the amount because we use so many.

At Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada LPNs start at $20/hr RNs $30/hr Charge Nurse $34/hr.

NOTHING about nursing is easy no matter what setting you are in. You are ALWAYS learning. At a correctional facility you see alot of people that do not typically take care of themselves - never been to a doctor before or in along time, abuse drugs/alcohol, have mental health issues that have never been addressed before ect....... You never know who is walking in the door so i wouldnt say you lose your assessment skills you actually have to be excellent at it because you really have to decide if this person really needs medical attention or are they just faking to get attention or just drug seeking ect..... Remember you are talking to criminals - they are great liars and very manipulative. You see EVERYTHING from burns, gun shot wounds, hypertension, seizures, diabetes, pregnant women - high risk and usually have had no prenatal care and drug/alcohol use during the pregnancy, postpartum women, end stage renal failure on dialysis, tons of mental health, tons of people detoxing from alcohol/drugs, MRSA, lice, abcesses/wounds, tuberculosis, dementia/alzheimer's, severe dehydration, attempted suicide, scabies, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, stroke, post surgical, jaw wired, chest pain, COPD, lots of fractures, and I guess I could go on and on and on but it is alot! We have people on cpap machines, oxygen, insulin pumps, IV's, some have PICC lines, ect....... We have approximately 2000 inmates taking medications there and its crazy but you never know what you are going to see next. I learn something new everyday! I love it!!

Please pm me with your email address.

i graduated from csn from the nursing program - it took me a couple of tries to get in - the third time I got in last minute because someone dropped during the first couple days of class. I started a week after everyone else and had to take up that persons schedule so it took a quick adjustment but it was ok. They go by a point system depending on how many pre requisites you have completed and what grade you got in that class plus they have points for previous certifications, volunteer work and what ever score you get on your NLN will give you different points. So obviously the higher the better. Just keep trying to apply even if you are not done with all your prerequisites and show a genuine interest so they know to call you even if the semester has already started - like what happened to me.

I have an interview at Spring Valley tomorrow and was wondering if anyone had interviewed there or anywhere recently....... How was the interview - what type of questions did they ask you - the typical ones or more clinical situations or what??? This is my first interview for nursing so I dont know what to expect....

i am a new grad and i cant decide on where to start-- 1. medical floor 2. surgical floor 3. med/surg floor i don't know which one to pick - i am sure it doesn't really matter - it is all experience right if anyone has any advice that will sway me in one way or the other it will be greatly appreciated!

I was thinking of working at a detention center but wanted to hear from anyone who had experience working in that environment. Any input will be greatly appreciated!
