Before I discovered AN, I didn't even know there was such a thing as corrections nursing!

I'd be interested in reading more of your impressions as you start into this new line of work.

I believe I was able to write them up at the prison I worked at. I never happened at the county jail.

It should not be an expected or tolerated part of your work environment.
