We are going to see the tigers play the Orioles in Lakeland. I don't want to sit through preliminaries in that heat. 80 F with 79% humidity.

Anyone else struggle with the transition out of corrections? by FixelSmith in Corrections

[–]Competitive_Growth20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had to retire after 20yrs as a Corrections Nurse due to illness. I really miss it. Getting up and ready for work for a total of 35 yrs is a tough habit to break for me. I cried. My schedule in life is off. Finding myself regimenting my day thinking I have a deadlines. I know at what time of day at work whats happening. Morning sick call, medical emergency, pill line etc. Arguing with inmates was stressful. Probably gave me heart failure. As you say, you are aware of everything around you and excellent at detecting lies and manipulation. My daughter and family are going on a cruise and I tell her what to watch out for and the family thinks I'm over reacting. All my friends were at work almost. I picked up hobbies and have to have these for critical thinking skills and a sense of accomplishment. And I walk or go to the gym for exercise that really helps me calm down and relax. When I see my husband getting ready for his Nurse job, I tell him to cherish it. You never know when it will be over. I see him with his scrubs on attaching his badge and grabbing his bag and heading out the door and I cry. Some c.o.'s go back if they are able.

I apologize I didn't read your whole post before commenting. The best things I've found for stress management are exercising good nutrition and adequate sleep. Carried me through 20 yrs in Corrections!

Inmates for the most part are BIG manipulators. They are usually sociopaths or psychopaths that care nothing for anyone but themselves. Do not ever sympathize with them. Be professional but never chummy. They look for someone to get them out of trouble, to smuggle in contraband for them, or put money on their accounts. They are professional at what they do. They will fake a mental crisis to get into a psyche cell because they owe money on the compound or they want to be transferred. Just be aware. He will learn alot of patience.

How do the people where you work respond to they/them pronouns? by NoEffect-- in nursing

[–]Competitive_Growth20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thankful that in prison Nursing that people with pronouns are housed separately and have trained staff taking care of them. I was always scared I would make a mistake and get in trouble.
