Best decision I ever made was becoming a correctional nurse

Girl thank you for this

I was a guard in a prison hospital (yes it was a hospital that was also a prison not a prison infirmary) For almost 10 years.

How much inpatient or medsurg experience do you need to get into this Thanks for the video

Started drinking coffee when i was around 11 or 12 with my dad, now i'm 51 and enjoy a great cup of coffee when i can my favorite way to make it is with a Stove top perculator pot, if done correctly it has the best smell and best taste would you care to join me for a cup ☕😂

I am thinking of applying for a job in corrections. My only concern is med pass. I tried LTC and found it stressful because residents didnt have identifiers on them. If you didnt know who was who you had to rely on staff if the resident wasn't oriented. I had to work so slow and triple check in LTC. What safety measures do you have in place to ensure inmates get the correct meds?

I'm on camera all night, so I'm not going to nap anywhere close to my job.

I love your glasses. Where did you bought them? I am starting working at the state correction next month.

Wow 2 nurses a yard that's good lol I works in corrections as well

My mom was a L.P.N for many many years. She is an "old school" nurse. VERY hands on. To her, bedside manner is just as important as the medicine you take. When she went to work at Lowel women's Correctional facility in Florida, she had to learn how to be a nurse, without touching the inmate. The inmates LOVED my mother, but the doctors and nurses HATED her. She was a big advocate for the prisoners, because she DID NOT like the way the prisoners were treated. She worked there for almost ten years before she was forced out because she actually cared about the prisoners and their rights. She ended her nursing carreer working end of life care at Hospice. The hardest thing my mom had to deal with at the prison, was not being allowed to touch her patients. As I said, my mom was very hands on. If she cant rub your back, or just touch on you, its like torture for her.😂 If everyone had a mother like mine, there wouldn't be a need for prisons...I was so so lucky to get her as a mom and if I was sick, I would want her as my nurse...❤❤❤

I thought you went into public health nursing? What happened with that?

Ty for posting. I really enjoyed your presentation

I’ve been trying to get into outpatient OR but being a newer nurse of a year I’m finding it so hard to get into it. Any suggestions?

Have you ever tried Home Health Nursing? Very flexible schedule 👍🏼

Or only at the OR

Are you still working as a correctional nurse??

This is what happens in female run professions. I'm going crazy I can't take it

Thank you.😊

just applied in LA county. Hope i get a call

MEMES

At the end of the day, it’s just not the job for you. There are a lot of really good nurses who enjoyed their job and I’ve been doing it for decades. If it’s not for you it’s not for you.

As a new grad, I'm very interested in this kind of job. It's a different side of nursing that you don't see everyday. However, being a new grad also comes with a lot of questions regarding this setting. 1. Do correctional facilities offer additional training or orientation? 2. Is there any teamwork or do you tend to work by yourself? I know some long-term care new grad nurses that had to work by themselves on the unit and didn't have anyone to go to when they had questions. 3. I heard some facilities have an infirmary, what are the nurses duties in that setting? 4. And if there's no infirmary, where are you usually stationed at to do your work? 5. How many patients do you usually have per shift? 6. What's the difference between jail, prison, etc? 7. Who usually does the initial assessments when there's a new detainee or inmate? Provider, RN, LPN? Thank you in advance to whoever can answer my questions...and pardon me for more questions to come (I'm really curious and interested) 😅

Hey guys! I just uploaded a video on working Nighshift in Corrections. here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bauoqJVvp850o68

any recommendation on malpractice insurance

I am also voting for a night-shift corrections video. Can you please make one?

I agree

Hiii! What tips can you give? I’m in school and would like to do Corrections when I graduate but the case with Danalee Pascua have me nervous. Like what was she supposed to do if the cell is locked? Are you familiar with that story?

In terms of interview, what do they usually ask? I mean your personal experience? Thanks for this video.

They lie to new nurses all of the time and they end up being miserable or stuck. Its sad. Always go for what you want especially if theres a residency for it. Bedside will run and wear you down very quickly. The way that being anxious and not feeling your best is normalized is NOT normal. The human body is not meant to be an anxious state like that on a daily basis. Screw thag. Good for you for standing up for yourself and recognizing when it eas time to leave. Many people stay stuck.

Lovely dogs

Can you do a night shift video? I'm starting next week at a State prison.

Thanks, this was a lot more helpful than just watching a video with poses and heating up tv dinners lol.

Do u guys do iv in corrections ?

Thank you for sharing! Very informative! I’m looking into corrections and needed some insight. Thanks again and all the very best. 🥰

Amen, sister! I hate bedside nursing. It's been 18 years and I still hate it....don't be like me. Quit now.

My friend was a nurse, she’s a personal trainer now and she’s a lot happier mentally and emotionally, happy for her.

I’ve been an RN for 25 years. Do not be a nurse.
