We occasionally get inmates and they are always accompanied by two guards and are shackled to the bed. The wear leg irons when ambulating. Sometimes seems insane when it's a 70-year old who just had open-heart surgery. Never had any problems with inmate patients. On another note...ok you new grads...students... what the blazes is "consolidation"? Sound slike another nursing school whiz-bang program, but what is it exactly?

WHOA!! Are these patients very self-sufficient or is it just incedibly scary?

I tell anyone I meet who is thinking about nursing that while the money isn't bad, it isn't worth it if that's all you're after, and it certainly isn't fair to the patients. Sadly, it seems like the only way to give quality care is often to go above and beyond. I've been doing Tele for 3 years now, and while new tasks have been added continuously, hardly anything has been taken away.
