Hi everyone! I am a student nurse and I am working on a project about nursing in correctional facilities. I was wondering if there are any nurses out there who currently work or used to work in a correctional facility who woudl be willing to answer some questions for me! I listed a few below. Please feel free to answer any or all of them. Thank you so much! What kind of facility do/did you workin? What is your background in nursing? What skills do you rely most heavily on? What is the facility like? How many beds? Is it like a hospital unit or a clinic? Is there a doctor there every day? What is your relationship with the guards like? Why did you decide to become a nurse in a correctional facility? What experience do you recommend prior to working at a correctional facility? What is the biggest challenge working in a correctional facility? What is a typical day like? What is your relationship with your patients like? What is the biggest reward or working in a correctional facility? Have you ever had contact intentional or not with patients after they are released? How often do you feel like the inmates are trying to manipulate you? How do you handle this? Have you ever find yourself in a dangerous situation? How did you handle it? Why did you decide to stop working in a correctional facility?
