1. protecting yourself against complaints

   Ion replied to am4182's topic in Men

   What they did is no different than if they had physically put a knife in you. They assaulted your character, your career, your well being and everything else. Anyone who respects character and believes a man's word is his legal contract with life s...

2. I/M Harrassment- CO's doing nothing

   Ion replied to articnurseRN's topic in Correctional

   I know a nurse who did this. The inmate filed a grievance against her, went to the grievance officer and then the warden. The warden informed the inmate that based on nurse "X"'s experience in nursing and assessment, that she is qualified to know i...

3. I/M Harrassment- CO's doing nothing

   Ion replied to articnurseRN's topic in Correctional

   Stuff happens. You are respected more for standing up for yourself, than turning the other cheek. The criminal inmate mind is mainly about two things- respect and greed. If you are solid, they will take their games somewhere else and your job wi...

4. I/M Harrassment- CO's doing nothing

   Ion replied to articnurseRN's topic in Correctional

   My friend had an inmate using the "F" word. He let him know he was going to sue him for sexual harassment. Every time he got close to a new bag of Ramen at the commissary, my friend would be there waiting before him to collect it. He would work a ...

5. protecting yourself against complaints

   Ion replied to am4182's topic in Men

   Guilty is guilty. This is the same logic as putting someone back on the street who butchered a group of kids because they had psych issues. If the false allegation of a patient has the potential to affect a nurse's career, then the person making th...

6. International Public Health

   Ion replied to melrose85's topic in Public/Community

   Most of the world's dumps are that way because of the people who live there. Not all of the people, but whoever is in charge, and usually because they are in charge behind the barrel of a Kalashnikov. They are a dump because the guy with all the K...

7. Did you get a self defense course included

   Ion replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in Correctional

   The less rules they give you, the more free you are in your self defense actions. A small course at work will usually teach you enough to get hurt. If something goes down, you have to move from realizing something happened, to realizing you need t...

   Support tort reform. We need to sue, incarcerate and severely punish people who make false allegations.

9. Corrections /Jail good experience for public health??

   Ion replied to chapsticknurse's topic in Public/Community

   Part of public health is taking care of the under represented, the sick, the needy and that includes inmates. There is some dignity in that. Corrections is a good experience for anyone. You learn to deal with difficult people, usually learn at le...

10. Gay labeling, is it just plain mean? Or sexual harrassment?

    Ion replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Men

    my thoughts are that you were sexually harassed, but you have rights that protect you. my other thought when i meet a new nurse isn't if they are gay. why would someone really care? i care more about how well they do the job, because that is wh...

11. Do men have priority when considered for Nursing School?

    Ion replied to playbanjogood's topic in Men

    You get a priority when they want the water cooler changed.

12. advice needed

    Work some place where you can do homework. You will have plenty of time to work hard later.

13. Female Inmates?

    Ion replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Correctional

    In my experience, gender has a lot to do with it, Princess. Maybe most women are not as nasty as our criminal men. Women do not make up the majority of the population in most jails, but are usually about 50%-ish of the general population in the c...

15. How safe is it, really?

    Ion replied to rachelgp's topic in Correctional

    That about sums it up, but you expect it from the inmates. There are some great nurses in this field, but some bad ones too. The story of anywhere.
