personal safety not valued - Nurse Practitioner CoreCivic Employee Review

I had to see pts alone. An iron door controlled by master control separated me from an officer, who was not armed, and in the waiting room. To open the door, a button was pressed. The door could open in seconds or minutes-you never knew. While I was there several people were attacked by inmates. Not even a high-security prison. It's easier to "fix" a problem than to prevent it. Bullying was common by higher level employees. I was forced to do a toenail removal for an inmate who'd been sexually inappropriate toward me. The MD didn't want to do it because he and the inmate had had an altercation. But I was forced to do it. Don't think you will make great changes to this system. Rocking the boat made me watch my back. I was on call 50% of the time. Nurses had to call for EVERYTHING. I would never recommend working here.
