  1. Nurses Misbehaving While Caring For Inmates

    tbrd450 replied to nursejudy15209's topic in Correctional

    Sorry, I forgot to respond to this: "Ok in a perfect world but this is not a perfect world and staffing shortages, state cutbacks DO exist! Do you work in nursing? I guess not with a statement like...

    tbrd450 replied to nursejudy15209's topic in Correctional

    um...okay...I'm starting to feel a little like the guy who over-dressed for a beach party. Orca, please re-read what I have written. I have never told anybody "how wrong they are." And, to imply I...

    Orca wrote: The continued use of the word "empathy" was another red flag, because no nurse needs to completely identify with his/her patient to be effective. From: PubMD: "Empathy is a complex...

    tbrd450 replied to nursejudy15209's topic in Correctional

    Anne128, thank you for your question. Before I answer that I would like to propose a little experiment. I would like to ask you to consider the following two questions, take a little time and think...

  7. Modesty Issues

    DonMD: I want to sincerely thank you for participating here. You articulated the issues around the modesty double standard so well. Please don't discount or minimize your potential impact here, or...

    Wow, great discussion. Orca, you wrote: "That said, I am not there to find the good in inmates or to walk in anyone's shoes but my own. I am there to provide medical care - period. The reality is...

    Orca: "If you excessively empathize with inmates, the seeds of compromise are already planted. These people have gotten by all their lives by manipulating others and convincing people of things that...

  10. Modesty Issues

    tbrd450 replied to ToryAdore's topic in Operating Room

    DonMD: YES! YES! YES! THANK YOU! Thank you for stating the obvious. It's obvious but if we mention it, well... we are being silly and unmanly. As a male, I know exactly what you are talking...

  11. Nurses win lawsuit aginst Florida DOC

    tbrd450 replied to yellowbrickroad's topic in Correctional

    I've done a little research on this...and,... OMG! I believe, from what I've read, masturbation by the incarcerated is just technically illegal. There is nothing deemed, legally, private about any...

  12. Leaving work at work.

    tbrd450 replied to Eirene's topic in Correctional

    I have read where many nurses don't want to know why an inmate is an inmate for fear it may potentially color the quality of care they deliver (to him). This is fairly common, it appears. I get it....

  13. Leaving work at work.

    tbrd450 replied to Eirene's topic in Correctional

    The caring nurses (I suspect probably most, but certainly not all) whom do their job professionally within the correction setting, as nurses treating patients, are absolutely invaluable to the system....

  14. Nurses win lawsuit aginst Florida DOC

    tbrd450 replied to yellowbrickroad's topic in Correctional

    makes sense to me. If I am envisioning this correctly, these guys are behind a big, locked door -- in "their room" so to speak. They have a nurse come by at a certain time of the day/week. They...

    tbrd450 replied to Eirene's topic in Correctional

    With regard to not allowing an inmate to "disrespect" a nurse,... restraint chairs, stun guns, pepper spray, cell extractions and all other forms of "security compliance" endeavors are not meant,...

  16. Nurses win lawsuit aginst Florida DOC

    tbrd450 replied to yellowbrickroad's topic in Correctional

    I would certainly think that inmates facing 90 days would want to be on the very best behavior. Such behavior (masturbating / exposure) could result in time added, right? If they seem to do this...

  19. Patient Etiquette

    tbrd450 replied to brown252's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate. As a younger man, I was afraid of getting some things done that I should have (STD test) for fear that I would get an erection. I, myself, never really understood the involuntary...

  21. Gay male nurses?

    tbrd450 replied to mitakashi's topic in Men in Nursing

    I would imagine that if there is one segment of the patient population that may, remotely, represent some difficulty for a gay male nurse, it would be the young, hetero male patient. Most women (old...
