  1. HIPAA and Correctional Officers

    deyo321 replied to Neats's topic in Correctional

    Mouth checks are safety and securities concern. The LT should post at med pass and check each inmate. If I have an at risk inmate refusing their anti-pyschotic meds I will give the pod Officer a heads...

  3. Thinking of going to corrections

    deyo321 replied to toddlar's topic in Correctional

    I am very lucky where I work: I had an officer tell me yesterday that when he was training a new officer he told them the nurses have it "dicked" here. I said what? He said "you all walk into work and...

  4. First Death Threat

    deyo321 replied to aicfan's topic in Correctional

    Why did other nurses give it if facility policy is no sleepers? Just sayin... I had one inmate yell "It's your job to give me what I want" which struck me as so funny that a laugh escaped before I...

    deyo321 replied to Findingmynitch's topic in Correctional

  10. Department of Corrections Nurse

    deyo321 replied to MdjRN2011's topic in Correctional

    Just so this is clear; I am not a first responder, corrections is. I am on the scene only after a successful lockdown and security ok. Many of our Officers are EMT's, ex-, or current military and...

    deyo321 replied to jpevahouseRN's topic in Correctional

    deyo321 replied to WendyBensonRN's topic in Addictions

  15. What to do after being fired.

    deyo321 replied to lynkay's topic in General Nursing

    Getting fired is devastating. However I'd venture that it is pretty common in nursing. Part of the shark tank mentality that we allow to prevail. I bet a show of hands would turn up greater than 50%....

  16. Scrubs for Prison

    deyo321 replied to evelynkarirn's topic in Correctional

    I just avoid

  20. I refuse to be a punching bag - NO MORE ASSAULT

    deyo321 replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think leslie that I disagree. Never thought that would happen. My rationale is because we are pretty much compelled to offer help. You can't just walk away from a bleeding person because they are...

  21. I refuse to be a punching bag - NO MORE ASSAULT

    deyo321 replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Another reason I love my job. An inmate tries to take a swing at me he will be kissing linoleum. And he will definately be picking up charges. I am so much safer here than even in the nursing home...

  22. An Interesting Conundrum......

    deyo321 replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    deyo321 replied to Busia's topic in Correctional

  24. What does "+++" mean in narrative charting?

    deyo321 replied to seks's topic in General Nursing

    It could also denote UA dips that are grossly positive for blood, Leuks or bilirubin. That was what came to my mind

  25. Who's medication error was it?

    deyo321 replied to NJFek's topic in Correctional

    First don't beat yourself up. Med errors suck, but they happen. Myself I probably wouldn't have circled another nurses initials. Though your investigation probably turned up the correct information...
