Hi. I think you will be fine as long as you follow the established rules. I work PRN in a state prison and I feel safer working there than I do my full-time job at a state Psych. hospital. The guards are very protected of the staff. As a RN I pass meds, start IV's, pre-op/post-op care, wound care etc. One of the biggest differences is that we are not allowed to carry on long conversations with the immates. You have to say what is necessary and keep moving. I think you either like it or you don't. One of the hardest things for me is asking to be let in out of rooms and/or the unit constantly. I wish you luck, you never know you may love it.

Hi I am the DON for a SNF and the requirements are 1 RN for 8 hours in a 24 hour period.

Hi I have been a nurse for 23 years and it is very stressful, please make sure you are going into nursing for the right reasons. Thanks
