I love corrections & can't imagine doing anything else. I didn't mean To make it sound intense, I was just making observations on how correctional nursing has some unique effects at home as opposed to other specialties. The security system makes sense as we live on a main road and I know over 200 rapists murderers and child molesters by name. And as far as the exposure/sex thing, it was something other nurses had experienced. It makes sense though that it would be disturbing - that's why they do it afterall. Both nurses said thinking about later freaked them out, but it was short term an passed quickly. Sadly, you just get used to seeing that kind of thing pretty quickly... lol!

I've worked in corrections for a year now, and one of the main things I love about it is that it is usually quite easy to leave my workday at the gate. We are getting a sophisticated home security system for piece of mind even though I work at a level 5 camp and most of my guys are there for life. Also, there are nights when I dream that the offenders and my children are near each other (I'll dream thier school is on the prison grounds etc) and on those nights I never rest. Also, I've had 2 nurses confide in me that for a short time after having an inmate expose themselves - usually the first time, they experienced some anxiety while being intimate with thief boyfriend/ spouse.
