  1. Corrections Vs. Psych Institution for the Criminally Insane

    Aurora replied to Sheri257's topic in Correctional

    Let me guess ---

  2. Just quit my first nursing job.

    Aurora replied to rsmn17's topic in General Nursing

    You poor baby. You sound just like me 13 years ago. I thought nursing was about caring for the sick and dying, too -- not giving patients a lick and a prayer and hurrying off to finish paperwork and...

  3. ANP grad student needs help

    Aurora replied to Cynthia_S's topic in Correctional

    Genuine respect is respect given for admirable character, speech, actions and accomplishments. Not out of fear and intimidation and/or manipulation and deceit. I do not alter my care. That's kind...

  4. ANP grad student needs help

    Aurora replied to Cynthia_S's topic in Correctional

    My inmates come to me because they call me "the real nurse." Nevertheless, it is ironic that respect is so important to them. It is also easy to understand why. They have never received any...

  5. Advice on conducting nursing sick call

    Aurora replied to 1ninjanurse's topic in Correctional

    It's all very well to advise "be consistent"; however inmates generally have limited intelligence, despite their manipulative prowess. Therefore, many times, do not understand why one patient is...

  6. ANP grad student needs help

    Aurora replied to Cynthia_S's topic in Correctional

    Respect -- ironic, isn't

  7. Correctional Facilities-geographic differences

    Aurora replied to texascowgirl's topic in Correctional

    Arizona is like Texas, as you described it. California is a strange, strange world where the inmates run things, but at the same time they don't. I suppose because the CDC is such a behemoth and so...

  8. CMS Anne Arundel

    Aurora posted a topic in Correctional

    They are advertising and I am wondering whether anyone can tell me something about the facility in Anne Arundel Country, Maryland.

  9. Quick -- where can I live in Phoenix?

    Aurora posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    i have agreed to work at the maricopa county detention center for 13 weeks. can anyone direct me to safe, relatively clean housing that is not more than a half hour commute from the durango...

  10. PREA (prison rape elimination act) training?

    Aurora replied to karbyr's topic in Correctional

    I have never heard of it in California, Virginia or Arizona (natcherly) prisons. Seems like a custody issue to me. Theoretically, the COs are responsible for protecting the inmates from danger and...

  11. Quick -- where can I live in Phoenix?

    Aurora replied to Aurora's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The addresses for the Maricopa County Jails are: 3225 W. Durango 102 W. Madison St. 3127 W. Gibson Lane It seems to be south of the 10 where 17 curves and turns into the 60, if I am remembering the...

  12. Drowning in BIO 202..What to do???

    Aurora replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No slight intended. I guess saying it is simple sounds like an insult, but I only meant that teachers and textbooks can really complicate it and muddy the waters. I regret becoming a nurse. It...

  13. Drowning in BIO 202..What to do???

    Aurora replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    My first recommendationis ALWAYS to stay out of nursing. However, when it comes to biology, try to think of the organism in a mechanical way. Anatomy and physiology are easier that way --...

  14. English psychiatric nurse looking to work in Atascadero Hospital

    Aurora replied to bruce bryan's topic in California Nursing

    Are you nuts? Atascadero is ghastly! Not that I have ever been there, but I have worked in two California prisons and heard very scary stories. Worked with one psych tech who had been at Atascadero...

  15. Bullhead City

    Aurora replied to tantalus's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I interviewed at Bullhead City in the summer of 1997. It is small and hotter than H__L. :angryfire I didn't take the job, but that was because of family considerations. Nevada has no state...

  16. does anyone know how prop 200 will effect nursing?

    Aurora replied to breastfeedingRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    We all have to do our part to stem the tide. And, as you know, everything is The Nurse's responsibility. (I am sort of joking and sort of

  17. NUrsing in Nevada

    Aurora posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    I am considering relocating to Nevada. Can anyone give me information about what the nursing environment is like there? Does anyone have anything to say about the quality of life? Any preference...

  18. Who oversees MD BON?

    Aurora replied to ZZTopRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    you are a tiger! go get em! i was going to do a travel gig in bakersfield, but looks like i have gotten a permanent position in tucson. oh, boy! good luck to you.

  19. Who oversees MD BON?

    Aurora replied to ZZTopRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Actually, I was joking about calling Donna Dorsey at home. Barbara Mikulski's contact information can be obtained on-line. I expect I will be going up to Baltimore next week and my daughter lives...

  20. Who oversees MD BON?

    Aurora replied to ZZTopRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Have you tried calling Donna Dorsey at home? You could try one of the state senators. Barbara Mikulski is usually responsive. The MD BON has screwed up every license they have issued to me, even...

  21. New job challenges---advise?

    Aurora replied to tiona's topic in Correctional

    Sounds pretty standard. I wish I had good advice. Well, I do have good advice, but can't follow it myself. Don't let the disrespectful, surly, uncooperative guards make your blood boil. They are...

    Aurora replied to Aurora's topic in Correctional

    They are advertising and I am wondering whether anyone can tell me something about the facility in Anne Arundel Country, Maryland.

    Aurora replied to Kim2's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, I appreciate the info. My sister and I are both seriously considering a move to

  24. changing gears at 46 to County Jail?

    Aurora replied to nurseT's topic in Correctional

    Can you at least tell us what state this jail is in? I am looking for another correctional job and I don't want to wind up in a state where the jail guards are as stupid as the ones you deal with....

  25. Is it really as bad as they say?

    Aurora replied to DYEMOND47's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing demanding about nursing school is that it is taught by nurses and they don't have any idea how to teach. The lectures are baffling and the test questions are stupid. Usually there is...
