    OTC meds given upon request?

    RosesrReder replied to afteralltheseyears's topic in Correctional

    In my facility the inmate must fill out a request form. There are standing orders for them and a one time dose given. They don't pay anything for the request or meds. If the inmate has chronic...

    How would you react to being taken hostage?"

    RosesrReder replied to CN Student's topic in Correctional

    I've asked myself this question as well. Honestly, don't know. This are seen in a different light when you are there. My co-worker has a story of an inmate nearly chocking her with his cuffs on...

    RosesrReder replied to ibmaryann's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The following three days off you are going to be out of commission and practically recovering. I've done it and would do it again only if I needed the long days off stretch to go out of town or...

    Question about Scrubs

    RosesrReder replied to jessicanne's topic in Pediatric

    To be safe, I would address that question to your workplace/unit. Policies vary from hospital to hospital. For example, some NICU's (like mine) allow us to come in dressed from home. Others do not....

    Correctional nursing does it take a toll

    RosesrReder replied to Butterflybee's topic in Correctional

    New Nurse and crying!!

    RosesrReder replied to Pink8079's topic in First Year After Licensure

    She may not be your "fit". Maybe her teaching style and your learning style do not go hand in hand. My advice is to sit down and have a conversation with her about what works and what doesn't....

    I've encountered similar instances as well. The rebel in me has no problem reminding them that they once were "green/new" and that **** stinks too. (very eloquently though) I never miss the...

    Maybe it was a big mistake to be a nurse :(

    RosesrReder replied to NewYorkGirl's topic in General Nursing

    You've gotten great advice so far. My advice is to follow your heart and do what YOU want to do. Medsurg became very overwhelming for me as well and as soon as I was able to (and found) tranfer to...

    Vultures

    RosesrReder replied to icyounurse's topic in General Nursing

    ......And, I very kindly disagree with your comment. Shouldn't it be 50/50? Healthcare providers are and should be obligated to disclose such info, but it is also the patient's responsibility to...
