    no kidding, it's there for a reason. that's understood. however, compromising a person's health is a decision made by the physician's. Judges recognize that the law allows for these determinations to...

  6. Terminated from 1st job :(

    listeningangel replied to *Blessed2BaNRS*'s topic in General Nursing

    This makes me sad...a nurse with a dream turned into nightmare. I guess what bothers me is that in taking responsibility for your actions you have decided you have no recourse. it's so traumatic, what...

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

    listeningangel replied to stephied's topic in Correctional

    I think that violence is one of the underlying problems that does contribute to the mindset you talk about, tbrd. People react to it when they deal with it as part of their environment, work or...

    listeningangel replied to Cowboy Thug's topic in Correctional

    P.S. Kudos to the health facility administrator for communicating the appropriate role of the nurse. Facility health administrators are also responsible in their capacity to know the legal role and...

    According to all standards for nurses in corrections, nurses are health care providers and should not participate in security functions such as you describe. Basically, you cannot serve two masters,...

    excellent and well said tbrd. one exception.. nurses are not in 'supportive roles'. Our roles are primary and mandated by law. custody perceives us as 'guests' and refuse to recognize the lawful...

    Single-payer health reform is the most well-researched, accurate version of a viable solution to the current status of health care. Nurses using interchangeable terms for what this actually is -...

    listeningangel replied to Tankweti's topic in General Nursing

    the lawyer was correct. your school did not violate any laws. they are responsible for your education, not your employment. you can only set a "legal precedent" if there is a law that was violated...
