I am so sorry that you Nurses have to go through this, it is not fair to you. Keep complaining to the company and get the family of the inmates involve. You will be surprise what the family members of these inmates are capable of doing to help all you Nurses. Please stay in touch, like I said you will be surprise. I will check daily if any new posting or anything new that has happened. When all is said and done I will tell you my story, and why I said let the family of these inmate know what is going on.
Hang in there!!!

First, I would like to commend everyone who has posted on this forum/website. With everything that has been going on at the South County Jail in Frostproof Florida, I now feel compelled to voice my objectives as well. We as nurses at South County are all under a great deal of stress, due to the fact of mismanagement by the DON and the HSA. They have no idea the chaos they created for us. We as employees of Corizon have been told to just deal with it." Things aren't going to get any better". Just wandering if anyone from the corporate offices of Corizon know what's really going on at South County? Do they know about the memos we all get almost on a daily basis? Memos, after memos,memos about memos, memos contradicting other memos, and so on...A BIG confusing mess! Secondly, as mentioned from previous posts, we need some relief. If the management would spend one day in one of the nurses shoes, they would understand our need for help. Furthermore, they would clearly see the necessity to restructure, or reform our current system. No one seems to listen to any of us. All of the nurses, have spoken about feelings of being overwhelmed, unappreciated, disrespected, and EVERYONE is stressed. There are too many unrealistic demands put on us. We are all struggling here to be professionals, but its difficult when management isn't. We all hope someone will take the time to truly listen to us...Thank you

Central Co. Jail of Polk Co. Fl. has now transfered hundreds more inmates over to So.Co. jail in Frost Proof in So. polk Co. Fl . and has now put even more of a work load on the few nurses that work their . Their are not enough nurses to go around . You need to hire more nurses . You cannot keep using the same amount of nurses when the population increases . We actually dont have the time to take a meal break, if we do , we then take 10 giant steps to getting behind in our work . Then you guys dock our pay by taking away some of our pto time as punishment . That is not fair to us. When are some of you people from Corizon in Missouri going to come down and take a look at the situation ? You should arrive without warning so no one in management can play cover up and you should visit during the night also . I mean catch them with their pants down . A lot of us are in hopes that it will one day get better. It once was a wonderful place to work before Correctional Medical Came on the scene . Correction Medical service acts like the jail is a big regional medical center . We draw blood work on everyone like its a hospital and most of it is unnesscessary expense. A lot of the people are only there for a week but just because they are diabetics or have high blood pressure the doc. orders full labs and ua's on them and then they go home . You should see the lab request book over load its a mess and us nurses just dont have the time to draw all of it along with our already full plate . Talk about stress, we are stressed to the gills ! We will say no more. Just talking about it is upsetting .
Thanks,
Polk Co. Jail Nurses
