    jailDON replied to nurseT's topic in Correctional

    National Commission for Correctional Healthcare (NCCHC) American Correctional Association (ACA) ACA encompasses medical standards along with security and the medical section is very similar to the...

  2. How do you feel about child molesters?

    jailDON replied to Blackcat99's topic in Correctional

    I agree Lori, they should be put in general population. I am not the judge and jury and as a nurse I will treat them like any other patient. That doesn't mean that I wouldn't be very happy if their...

  3. Where are the real prisons located?

    jailDON replied to Blackcat99's topic in Correctional

    Yeah, some nurses act like they are a kid in a candy store. The few years I was available I didn't have anything to do with the officers. They talk too much. I"ve never been asked to cover for a...

    jailDON replied to Blackcat99's topic in Correctional

    Where I work, nurses could not get away with fllirting. Also inmates will not get very far writing up nurses. Try a Mexican prison. They segregate their TB infected inmates, feed them beans and...

  9. changing gears at 46 to County Jail?

    jailDON replied to nurseT's topic in Correctional

    Office politics....that's where I get trapped sometimes. It seems like whenever security gets in trouble they try to blame a nurse. Probably because we are contracted and are not one of them....

  10. PHS or CMS? Benefits? Work Conditions?

    jailDON replied to erroridiot's topic in Correctional

    The situation is basically the same for PHS. They don't match a penny of your 401K. As far as work conditions...it depends on what the community can afford. If the contract calls for a decent ratio...
