Are you kidding with this video?

LOL you made me laugh, girl! Please, don't feel bad, it has happened to the most of us!!! I know this and much worse has happened to me. Many times. Although I do not justify his behavior and absolutely do not think that you deserve to be treated...

Please, share your typical day as Prison RN? What shift do you work? What do you usually do? I am so new at this and so confused. Please help me make the right decision. I will be forever THANKFUL!

All stories are the same and all involve nursing homes... hm:confused:

Hi, Everyone, I was wondering if you could help me with some advice regarding this job offer that I've received. It is a LTC Nursing Center Staff RN Days, full time. $30/hr plus benefits. This facility has vents, the patient load is large (up to 30p...

Thank you so much for your response and for answering my ridiculous questions. I opened my eyes, finally... I know the answer to that was obvious, but when I asked them about it during our interview, they looked at me like I was crazy... So I started...

Do you have experience in managment? Charge nurse, supervisor? And may I ask why you emphasized the word "only" like that? Am I missing something? (If I offended you, Im sorry, really didn't mean to).

:wideyed::wideyed:I thought you would require MS to be a director of anything? Or min BSN but with many years of experience?

Is this normal that the employer doesn't give you a written contract which includes things like salary, shift diffs, benefit description, etc.. and doesn't even send the official job offer letter? Or do I want too much?

Thank you very much.

I think it is pretty normal for long term care facilities.

:yes:Thank you! I have a feeling they are pretty "hairy" bc they need everyone on every shift.

Well it turns out I'll have only a few days off (PTO) per year. Thank you so much everyone, for you kind responses! Thank you for great advice, I really appreciate it. Hope I also, one day, can contribute and help my dear fellow nurses. What a wonder...

:cheeky:that was funny, thank you.

Or should I ask for more money?

Thank you so much, guys! They said I should get a week or two of orientation and CMAs will not administer certain medications like narcotics, IV meds, antibiotics...So I will be doing that. I think I would be the only nurse on that entire hall. I t...

Really? Im a little concerned about the patient load...Also, they have some pts on vents. I don't have any experience in LTC, but right now its hard for me to imagine how will I ever complete even initial assessments on 30pts. It might take the whole...

I'm in Oklahoma City and I have 3 years of experience as an RN. Thank you for replying.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO BOTH OF YOU

I'm sorry, maybe I sound ridiculous, but I am new at this and have absolutely no clue how to get a job in correctional nursing. How did you get the job? I searched the DOC website in my state, but they don't have any RN openings. Where do I go from ...

Hi, how did you get hired? Did you call jail/prison directly? Or was it through an agency? I keep calling DOC facilities, they keep transfering me to some full mailboxes, where I can't even leave a message

Is it even possible for an RN to get a job in this field???? Everyone wants LPNs.

Hi, thank you for replying :))) I'm in Oklahoma.

Thank you so much for your reply. Oh, so its a medical company? I thought it was the government that provided care for DOC. I called one staffing agency but they told me I would only be able to work in med/surg because that is the only field I have ...
