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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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

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

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...

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.

Sounds like an awesome place to work.

I would rather work with male inmates. My experience is you have to be pretty nasty as a woman to go to jail.

I know of more nurses assaulted in hospitals than correctional facilities.

ideas? Less hard work, more butt kissing.

If you are interested in family planning then you may also want to check out county health departments. They provide birth control and family planning.

I refuse to work for any organization that discriminates against any people on the basis of race. I would not work there anymore than I would work in a facility that denied health care to Native Americans. Racism = bad. I have known other people...

i probably did not help much, but there are some broad answers to broad questions.

No, they clearly think on a different level. One student in our ADN program was accidentally administered the RN NCLEX and passed. My experience is that LPNs in a ADN/RN program frequently outperform pure LPN program graduates. I do have other t...

for the same reasons that efforts are made to ban firearms when more people accidentally die from food poisoning than accidentally die from guns. for the same reason when refuse to seal our borders when the crimes and costs from illegal immigration a...

The facts may be stamped in your brain housing group, but sometimes the brain needs time to form the concepts. The test may cover the same facts as the past two semesters, but you are only halfway through to being expected to understand the concepts ...
