    Something doesn't feel right

    RN Randy replied to RealityChek's topic in Correctional

    Wow, I agree with a couple of the other posts; sounds like a possible trouble area. You need to consider why IM's would be out of pocket in the first place. Your situation sounds like you have a few...

    Why Do You Do What You Do?

    RN Randy replied to Mariposa88's topic in Correctional

    A Federal Law Enforcement Retirement Package.... that, and the ability to transfer within the federal system to jobs otherwise unavailable in the civilian world.

    Prison Health Services, Inc...anybody work for them?

    RN Randy replied to Simba&NalasMom's topic in Correctional

    OK... thanks for this post! I've been seeing PHS all over the forum, in reference to LPN's and other odd things, and couldn't figure out what the heck people were talking about! [in my little world,...

    County level nursing...

    RN Randy posted a topic in Correctional

    A [loooong] question for anyone in small county or regional jails. I recently took a 5-day ride on a regional jail job. About 400 inmates. I was the only RN in the building [including the...

    Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    RN Randy replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And again, that is exactly what scares the crap outta me.... making the individual responsible and giving them a "gold card".. [ie; stop drinking, doping, cheating diabetics, smokers, lazy overweight,...

    Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    RN Randy replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    RN Randy replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    NEVER will raising taxes be a good idea. Have you even looked at the TOP of your paycheck lately?? You make a hypothetical 100K per year and you have no problem handing over $30,000 per year to the...

    Has anyone considered going all the way?

    RN Randy replied to Aariah's topic in General Nursing

    I went all the way once. It wasn't what I thought it would be and I ended up feeling all dirty and alone... surrounded by young-eating RN's... it was so humiliating. Seriously though, I think we just...

    Do you need to carry your personal cell phone while at work?

    RN Randy replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I now keep my cell [and my swiss army knife, and my PDA, and my scissors] in my van... And for those times I forget to leave it there, either the metal detector reminds me, or I find it as I'm...

    County level nursing...

    RN Randy replied to RN Randy's topic in Correctional

    LOL, yeah.. I guess I mean to say that for everything that I saw wrong, I also saw the glaring problem of *why* things were the way they were. There was no mystery except for those trips over to...

    Student looking for answers and insight on Corrections

    RN Randy replied to MWJamesLDS's topic in Correctional

    Yup, understand that completely. I'm a late life bloomer and finally realizing I'm working for that retirement package now as well. So if you do get the op to head east, just give a yell, I'm sure...

    How would you react to being taken hostage?"

    RN Randy replied to CN Student's topic in Correctional

    I agree with Jules... it's hard to say how one would react. It would depend on the situation I guess; if it were a "sit down and shut up till we get what we want" situation or a "Hey, since we're in...

    Student looking for answers and insight on Corrections

    RN Randy replied to MWJamesLDS's topic in Correctional

    You know.. a lot of folks get hung up on salary and how the grass always appears greener over "here/there". It's always a good idea to check out the cost to income ratio before renting that U-Haul,...

    Gay labeling, is it just plain mean? Or sexual harrassment?

    RN Randy replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm sure he means from a political standpoint, not average citizen standpoint... as I agree with you, Texas vs. California would probably end up at gunpoint, LOL.

    Interview process: prior drug use?

    RN Randy replied to CrazyFLBean's topic in Correctional

    Ditto with Stanley... had a top secret in the Army, and they said it this way: "We don't care that you got stoned or how it happened, we just want to know if you're willing to lie about it." That has...

    Gay labeling, is it just plain mean? Or sexual harrassment?

    RN Randy replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Men in Nursing

    Absolutely. It may come as news to you. but most people put the whole gay/lesbian subject in the "negative" bin. Some more than others, but the overall consensus I see in society is that the whole...

    Input on CAMC vs. Dr. Hamrick.

    RN Randy replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    CAMC got all super-corporate-giant on Dr. H and did something foolish without first examining the facts. Oopsie. Now they suffer the consequences of screwing up on someone with "old money". What's...
