Keep dropping these videos! Exposing the best kept secret I see!

Hi, I'm a female RN at a max, med, and min security men's prison in Kansas😊 i just started a year ago, I was a geriatric long-term care nurse for 5 years prior to going into the prison. I really enjoy correctional nursing! Right now trying to get better at dodging all the manipulation and games prisoners try to play on us.

I have been to detox then rehab.

I always found it hypothetical that opiate users are given something for dope sick, then withdrawl
But
Everyone else has to go cold turkey. You can be having wicked panic attacks or anxiety and they won't give you Ativan to help or zopliclone for insomnia.

Like they don't give alcoholics a half shot twice a day?

FYI if you are in the evaluation stage of detox, you are watched, like eyes on you every second and your vitals are taken every hour. If you are deemed with like severe alcoholism or benzos, or you keep crashing, they take you to the ER and you have to do pre-detox in a hospital first. Then you are brought back to detox.

I’m a new grad and have been jumping around to see what I like. I’m thinking of prison.

Keep up the videos bro ur doing great really helping me figure out if i wana do psych or jail nursing🥰🥰🥰 not alot of info amywhere about these

Psych Nurse: I know you may feel safe. But you should think more about your personal safety. Like a woman staff should always be with you when tending to prisoners. Or cameras because should there be an inappropriate conduct claim against you,  you will need evidence that nothing happened.

Just applied for a PRN position back in a women’s prison…took a year off of FT nursing and when thinking about what I want to go back to, it was Corrections hands down! Thanks for sharing! Corrections is a hidden gem.

Ayy you're back! :)

Glad to find this.. love ya being down to earth!!

I just want to say thanks for this info especially from a male perspective, I graduate my nursing program  in 1 more month and im thinking of corrections and psych!

So basically being in prison is better being out here free. Cause why they living better than us and have access to more resources lol

New grad nurse here 👋🏿…. Considering corrections to start my career. This video was very insightful, thanks so much for this!

Very interesting! I would guess your  psych experience is an advantage.   Best of luck in this new position.

Working in the ED as a tech right now and I'm hoping to do nursing school next year. I've always been interested in psychology, human behavior, murderers, etc. People in jail and prison intrigue me, because some of them need the help, some need the punishment, etc; but, their backgrounds intrigue me. I'm curious about prison/jail nursing positions, so thanks for this.

I am having a hard time developing the mindset that every patient is faking.  I see someone with an issue that needs to be addressed,  but I'm told anything they present with is solely "drama. "

You’re back! Can you do a video on travel nursing? Or did you working at the jail through an agency? Love your videos!

our facility has a specialized psych unit!! I also worked psych before corrections so working the psych unit in the prison was the perfect mix for me

1000000% agree with your take on providing Suboxone and hormones to prisoners. Just ridiculous. Thank you for the this video really enjoyed learning about this side of nursing.

I’m going on 5 years working in corrections! I love it and have and have a lot of trust with my officers and rank. I recently moved into the ICN position and that is very challenging, which I love. If you’re a recent graduate, get some med surgery experience first before moving to corrections.

Thank you so much for all the feedback, you did a great job explaining all the dynamics going on in this work setting. I am considering taking a travel correctional position myself and this was tremendously helpful. Ty so much :) <3
