    crjnursewarrior replied to nurseT's topic in Correctional

    nurseT, If I were in your place, I would confront this female officer. I would make it very clear to her that her job is SECURITY and that you will run the medical dept. Like you and the officers at...

  3. Prenatal Assessment Question

    crjnursewarrior posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hello to all OB nurses...I have a question. I work in a correctional facility, so I am not very experienced when it comes to obstetrical matters. We get pregnant inmates at times, however. Right...

  4. Prenatal Assessment Question

    crjnursewarrior replied to crjnursewarrior's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks so much for the replies. Okay...a fetoscope, that is what it's called. I thought I remembered seeing something like that, couldn't remember the name of it! Since we do not have a fetoscope at...

    crjnursewarrior replied to jen42's topic in Correctional

    Jen42... Some things that you need to take into consideration are: Is it medium security, maximum security prison? Keep in mind that med. security prisons grant inmates a lot more freedoms then do...

  7. Patient advocacy issues facing RNs in California

    crjnursewarrior replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Correctional

    I work in a regional jail on the East Coast and I feel like the Standard of Care received by the inmates here is adequate, if not superior to that of some law-abiding citizens. One must take into...

  8. CMS or hospital?

    crjnursewarrior replied to military spouse's topic in Correctional

  9. Newborn PKU: Heelstick vs Venipuncture?

    crjnursewarrior replied to Krojas21's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have no experience to shed on this subject, as I am not a NICU or OB nurse, however, I found this thread interesting. My daughter was born with Tetralogy of Fallot and stayed in the NICU for 5 days...

  10. Money Hungry Patients

    crjnursewarrior replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the scenario OliveVines describes here is more a matter of mental ignorance issues rather than "mental issues", therefore this man is certainly CAPABLE of following dr's orders. He...

  15. Cosmetic Treatments for Inmates

    crjnursewarrior replied to crjnursewarrior's topic in Correctional

    fiestynurse, I think you are right. The DOC prison I worked at was NCCHC accredited and we charged a copay. As you said, if they were unable to pay, of course, they were still given care, and then...

  21. Cosmetic Treatments for Inmates

    crjnursewarrior replied to crjnursewarrior's topic in Correctional

    I think the OTC meds being on commissary would be a great idea. If these people were on the street there is NO way they would go to the drug store and buy this stuff. If they had to pay for it, their...

  23. Why Correctional Nursing

    crjnursewarrior replied to kellyo's topic in Correctional
