   mscsrjhm replied to NJFek's topic in Correctional

   Where to start? You and I know that they can't get high from INH, but other inmates don't know that. I have seen them sell antibiotics, Theophylline, HTN meds, etc for sex, commissary, and food....

   mscsrjhm replied to shozzy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

   If you told me to sit on a rock, I would assume you were crazy. I have heard of nurses putting rice in CNA shoes, and one nurse even forced CNAs to wear wet (new) depends. My opinion- nurses are...

4. Anyone Familiar with Extended Care Hospitals?

   mscsrjhm replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

   Never heard of nurses watching cameras. Wouldn't they be more helpful on the floor? Seriously, you are walking into some rough @#$%. Extended care can be very tough. Why do you think they are...

5. got shouted at yesterday night

   mscsrjhm replied to melz34's topic in General Nursing

   I would tell on him. He not the boss. Seriously though, it's a mind game- he thinks he is in control- forgetting that his needs are now being met by the nursing staff. Once he is subtlety reminded...

6. I'm afraid for my pt. and afraid to go to work.

   mscsrjhm replied to Peggy4's topic in General Nursing

   You imagine him have been a normal person prior to the child. You really are nice (good good thing.) I imagined him to have been a sleazy, slimy, lazy, abusive, pre/post convicted, selfish substance...

   mscsrjhm replied to Peggy4's topic in General Nursing

   I believe that you are a very caring person, who is extremely naive and must never work with inmates. I have worked in homes that live almost completely off that "measly" check, and will lie, cheat,...

8. NO LUNCH? NO BREAKS? Is that common in nursing?

   mscsrjhm replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

   If I need a bathroom break, I take one. The "me time" I speak of is not for the bathroom. It is that down time for 30 minutes to just get away. Per the post I was referring to : "In nursing school...

   In reply to post 146: I am not attempting to be a martyr. This issue is not a clinical issue, and cannot be solved by looking it up in a text book, or bringing up what you were taught in school....

11. The end of C-diff testing??

    mscsrjhm replied to medpsychRN's topic in General Nursing

    Re: the OP. Perhaps the humorless Dr. was attempting to joke? No Physician is going to voluntarily breach basic standard of care. Can you imagine how much a memo directing this negligence would be...

12. NO LUNCH? NO BREAKS? Is that common in nursing?

    mscsrjhm replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    Through agency, I have worked at places that required their own staff to do this. I just don't get it. I go to work to make money, and consider putting food in my children's mouths a great...

    Guy sounds like he knows the inside of a jail cell quite well. People like this could care less about his grieving process- he's probably happy to be getting a check and having very little...

    It is already established by actions that you can be victimized, so don't go back to that house. Calls to make: Pt.s Physician first, hotline, case worker, finally your agency. You are required by law...
