  1. What do you do when the CO's won't take action?

    tbrd450 replied to katkonk's topic in Correctional

    What you are describing here is a system that is fundamentally faulty; it is a system designed on the wrong foundation. The "us vs them" mentality that permeates the typical correctional system is...

  2. Male nursing and needing chaperone

    tbrd450 replied to Sirkraker's topic in Men in Nursing

    It's just a wacky paradox of illogic and lunacy. In the end, hospitals want business. They want patients that can pay. If enough paying patients demand green apple cider on Thursdays, hospitals will...

  3. What do you do when the CO's won't take action?

    tbrd450 replied to katkonk's topic in Correctional

    Very good point. Thank God there are a ton of attorneys out there waiting for opportunities to ensure that proper actions are taken on behalf of those without voices -- those without rights. Granted,...

  4. Male nursing and needing chaperone

    tbrd450 replied to Sirkraker's topic in Men in Nursing

    It is a double standard that reflects the double standard in society. Men and boys are abusers. Women and girls are victims. You may be surprised at how many people out there can't even entertain...

  5. Can a nurse be part of the Special Operations and Response Team (SORT)?

    tbrd450 replied to Cowboy Thug's topic in Correctional

    Clearly, the role of a nurse does not include "activities such as SORT, pat downs, area searches, forced cell moves, etc. etc. etc." .. this is clear whether it has been established as an official...

  6. Ever worry about your family's safety?

    tbrd450 replied to x_coastie's topic in Correctional

    Let me just offer a word or two of caution on questing to become the "sheep dog." While it is the ever-appealing hero complex that often serves as impetus toward one's sheep dog path (a violent path...

  7. feeling the negative enviroment in prison nursing

    tbrd450 replied to hrdcore's topic in Correctional

    Without addressing it directly with them, or hearing directly from them, you will never really know what is behind the attitude. It could be one or more of several possibilities: 1) Have you...

  8. What happens when a max security inmate is unconscious in their cell?

    tbrd450 replied to stephied's topic in Correctional

    I know what the system can be like from the "us" side of the equation. I know about the verbal abuse, the manipulation, and the distrust. I know that feelings get hurt. No matter how "detached" one...

  9. What happens when a max security inmate is unconscious in their cell?

    tbrd450 replied to stephied's topic in Correctional

    I mean no disrespect to any individual nurse or correctional worker. I am certainly not judging anybody. If I have conveyed that, I appologize. I have been trying to make the point that it is the...

  10. Nurses, Clients and Power

    tbrd450 replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    Middleager, As a middle ager myself, let me quote the great Arthur Fonzerli -- "Correctomundo!" Ahh.. I agree completely with you on just about every point you made. As a male who is also tuned in to...

  11. What happens when a max security inmate is unconscious in their cell?

    tbrd450 replied to stephied's topic in Correctional

    The mindset is what it is. It comes about and thrives within corrections for various reasons. The "us vs. them" mentality that defines so many correctional environments is often perceived as...

  12. What happens when a max security inmate is unconscious in their cell?

    tbrd450 replied to stephied's topic in Correctional

    When delivered in the correctional environment, it is not the same -- it is not intended to be the same (as a first aider at a RTC...). It is different. And, that difference makes it extremely...

  13. What happens when a max security inmate is unconscious in their cell?

    tbrd450 replied to stephied's topic in Correctional

    Thank you very much for that very nice reply. I appreciate you lending support, publicly like that. That is courageous -- it demonstrates integrity and independent thought. It feels good doesn't...

  14. What happens when a max security inmate is unconscious in their cell?

    tbrd450 replied to stephied's topic in Correctional

    No, I'm not that noble. I wish I were. Frankly, I don't have the constitution for prison life, neither the jumpsuit version nor the uniformed version. For one thing, I just know I have to be...

  15. What happens when a max security inmate is unconscious in their cell?

    tbrd450 replied to stephied's topic in Correctional

    Good point. the "supportive" perception is not by design, but rather it reflects the natural consequences of delivering service (care) to patients within the custody culture that dominates the...

  16. VERY POOR JUDGEMENT

    tbrd450 replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in Correctional

    Good. Thank you for you honesty. I am the source, for I am Tbrd. While you don't really know me, you know me through my posts -- my words. In fact, you only know me through my words. The words I...

  17. VERY POOR JUDGEMENT

    tbrd450 replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in Correctional

    okay, now this time there is no doubt about it. I am definitely picking up a negative vibe from Kirplunk. Talk to me Kirplunk, what's going on? What are you so angry about? Why do differences in...

  18. VERY POOR JUDGEMENT

    tbrd450 replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in Correctional

    Lorry, This "autonomy" is a bit scary isn't it? What are your thoughts on how well-placed this "autonomy" really is in the typical correctional environment? In another thread somebody was kind enough...

  19. Pediatric examination standards I don't understand

    tbrd450 replied to Shuck's topic in Pediatric

    I think this is an excellent idea, as one step. However, it may be the case that the "standard" is either nonexistent, existent but inconsistent, or just based on past arbitrary practice. As I...

  20. any words of wisdom?

    tbrd450 replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

    Patients and nurses are each given unique gifts corresponding to the unique perspectives they each bring to the condition of human frailty. The nurse is granted the gift, the honor, of opportunity....

  21. Pediatric examination standards I don't understand

    tbrd450 replied to Shuck's topic in Pediatric

    Just a thought, but does this person's supervisor know about such practice? Do the parents of these kids know about this? We far too often, generally speaking, accept whatever care or "practice" we...

  22. Pediatric examination standards I don't understand

    tbrd450 replied to Shuck's topic in Pediatric

    Let's not make this more complicated than what it truly is. This is wrong. This is just yet one more example of the double standard against male patients (boys and men both) when it comes to modesty...

  23. VERY POOR JUDGEMENT

    tbrd450 replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in Correctional

    YES! No other place is medical advocacy more necessary than in a facility in which the single medical provider -- the nurse -- is the only game in town. No patient option exists here for second...

  24. Dangers of Labeling Inmates - Stories Sought

    tbrd450 replied to Guest371144's topic in Correctional

    "Sometimes inmates do complain of symptoms they are not really experiencing (so do patients on the outside). However, the only reliable way to make sure is to see and assess the patient -- which...

  25. Nurses, Clients and Power

    tbrd450 replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely. The power imbalance is understood. What is changing, as you explained, is that people are starting to question things. People have been educated to the point that they want to know why? I...
