I THINK THAT CORRECTIONAL NURSING IS MORE OR LESS FOR THE SEASONED NURSE. SOMEONE WHO IS NOT OFFENDED (TOO MUCH) BY THE FOUL LANGUAGE NOT ONLY FROM THE INMATES BUT THE OFFICERS AS WELL, THE CONSTANT JACKING OFF OF THE MALE INMATES. THEY ACTUALLY CUT SLITS IN THEIR JUMPSUITS SO THEY HAVE INSTANT ACCESS TO THEIR PRIVATES SO WHEN A WOMAN ESP ON MEDICAL WALKS BY THEY CAN JACK OFF. THEY ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO TREAT AS THEY LIE CONSTANTLY, MANIPULATE CONSTANTLY TO GET WHAT THEY WANT. WE WERE TOLD IN OUR ORIENTATION THAT THEY MUST GET WHAT THE NEED, BUT NOT ALWAYS WHAT THEY WANT. THE BEST WAY TO STAY OUT OF TROUBLE WITH INMATES IS TO REMEMBER WHERE YOU ARE AND WHO YOU ARE DEALING WITH. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL FINE NURSE WALKED OUT OF OUR PRISON BECAUSE OF INMATE DEALINGS. IF YOU HAVE A SOFT HEART, OR ARE IMMATURE IN YEARS AND NURSING THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU. NURSING IS NURSING NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE, BUT PRISON NURSING REQUIRES A LOT OF MATURITY. IT IS DEFINITLY NOT FOR YOUNG NURSES. JAN KEPPLER, RN

Its certain that not everyone is cut out for correctional nursing. there is no shame in throwing in the towel. I have been a correctional nurse since december and i love it! It is also true that there are protocols to follow and it is important to understand that SECURITY is the number one priorty of all employees including medical staff. In nursing school you are taught the ABC’s. you have to leave that at the door and replace it with SABC. security airway breathing circulation. it can be ashame at times but the publics safety comes before the well being of a convict.
