that was the shift i was on. was head nurse (RN) of a 1200 male offender prison. it was just me and the LVN. the LVN spent the whole nite setting up morning med pass.

i did chart reviews, did all post altercation physicals, did all seg physicals (offenders who bought themselves a administrative segregation cell e.g. solitary confinement), responded to medical codes, did seg rounds, picked up sick call slips in all cell blocks for the day shift, reviewed them, sorted them, pulled charts and set them up for the day shift. i did diabetic clinic in the morning-accuchecks and insulin administration for diabetic inmates (small portion of inmates, so it wasnt bad), and did post-exposure cell checks...e.g. after gassings, to ensure inmates werent in respiratory distress after the OC/CS was fired. (yes had my own gas mask lol), and i did some paperwork e.g. working on my chronic disease clinic that i was assigned to.

i know it sounds like alot but it was pretty laid back and boring and slow, unless there was a riot and/or gassing involving a whole house, or cell extraction etc.....

congrats on your job! i know you will love it!

noc shift at my jail we do intake into the jail, make rounds on the medical unit, blood sugars and early am meds

Pardon my ignorance, but gassings???? :eek: I'm thinkin' like Auschwitz or something; what is it you're describing?

I am sure what the poster is referring to by "gassings", is when the go in in a hostile cell entry. The CO's may first heave to spray capsacian into the cell to control the inmate. Since this is a chemical agent, the inmate needs to be evaluated after exposures to determin injury. It is not used on inmates who have respiratory problems, there they will utilize EBID which is the electronic body immobilizing device

Whew! Thank you for the explanation!

No problem, if I did'nt work in a prison, i whould have thought of Auschwitz also. Capsacian is commonly refered to as pepper spray
