2. Am I being too pushy??

   sarsett replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in Nursing Professionalism

   This is good advise for a community psych hospital, but in prison this response will have you looking "overfamiliar", which is a cardinal sin in prison. Any wind that you are aware of and ignoring a...

8. When male prisoners intentionally expose themselves to females

   sarsett replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in Correctional

   Exactly. Don't act like you didn't see anything because this will definitely indicate that you like the behavior (as far as prison rules go...). I call them out loud enough so the whole tier can hear,...

    sarsett replied to Nissan350z's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Admissions is pretty disorganized, so maybe you should call or go over there to see if everything is finalized. I know that tuition deposits have already been due, and that they are now sending out...
