Nurse D I was a trustee in the supermax infirmary from 2017 to 2020. And spent 4 years total at NCFF. I was there on your first days and also thought you weren't gonna make it. You turned out to be one of the toughest, empathetic, compassionate people I have ever met. Ty for your service!

[paigethompson]

She sould be teaching others how to care in an unbiased, non-judgemental, loving way. What an awesome person.

[dahnaphillips]

She is so well spoken, represents all nursing. Glad to hear she isn’t jaded, and still has empathy for those she cares for. This touched me as a nurse myself.

I'm married to an amazing nurse. Special people. My wife has been at it for well over 20 years, and she continues to amaze me every day.

[blondieblu]

Thank you for interviewing a nurse. It is SUCH a hard profession and she approaches it in the most professional way. She deserves the upmost respect and admiration.

[frenchalix]

What a professional nurse! No inside crunchy personnals stories ( asked by Mark x times) but general conditions. This is ethical manners!

Mental health/ Addictions R.N. here: Much respect to Nurse D....
You're right... no 2 days alike! I'm retired on medical after a 32-year career. I miss working. Three core beliefs that shaped my nursing approach:
● No one has the right to lessen the dignity of another person.
● Knowledge replaces fear... for my patients, myself, and my fellow staff.
● Heal the mind/spirit... and the body will follow.

Nurse D deserves a huge raise . God bless her heart. She really believes in unbiased care which is incredibly important in any healthcare environment .

Sharing with my nursing staff…I have 50 nurses on my team and some are new grads. We forget often as nurses to teach each other coping skills that we try to implement for our patients. Corrections is not for the faint of heart, but the challenge of it is exactly what makes me continue to use the tools I have to make even the smallest changes. Thank you for your “unbiased care”. Our patients are not their crime..and every single one of us could switch sides of the fence at any moment.

I am a correctional nurse in Alaska!! It's so nice to hear someone else's story!! I had the same struggles in the beginning! But I love this job so much!

My mom is a physical therapist and worked in a maximum security prison in California. Those guys loved her. It was a privilege for them to have PT.

[HeidiVetter-vyvs]

Hi nurse D. I am a correctional psychologist who has worked in LA county correctional facilities and CA state prisons since '96, including some time working in twin towers LA county jail. Working in these facilities can change the core of who you are, and vicarious trauma does take a toll after a while. But, as you indicate it can be rewarding and I also love my job. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to this population.

Fellow Rn here. Thank you for sharing your story. When they say nursing is both art and science, this woman oozes the art. You can’t teach the art, it’s something within. To see humanity at its best and worst changes you. She seems to have a light within and that’s what I mean, you can’t teach that human art.

[beinpeace-]

She seems kind-hearted, not judging, truly wanting the best for others✅️
