Nurse D here! :) Thank you all for the positive feedback it is an honor to be a nurse at this capacity and being able to share my story!! Thank you for the opportunity Mark 🙏🏼💕
Fellow RN and Venturan here. Thanks for sharing your story! 😊
Thank you for sharing your story
Cool story. Greetings from sunny Poland.
Thanks Nurse_D_! Awesome interview. 😎💪🏁
You are a great interview subject. Truly an angel warrior🙏💕 👑
“I’m here to provide care, unbiased care” a true Nurse! We appreciate your hard work and efforts Nurse D! You make a difference ❤
I love your comment... Well stated❣️
@@Health-Wealth-Hope thank you! I hope you have a great day 💓
I don’t know see much difference
Amen
Unfortunately this attitude is few and far between. Correction nurses start thinking they're deputies pretty quickly and milking the system becomes the mindset.
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.
Thank you Blondie ~ I’ve been a nurse over 30 years. Graduated at age 19. I can tell ya from experience…it’s a challenging and often disheartening career!! She mentioned politics - there’s distinct politics within corporate life too!! All that said, caring and serving the public all my life, without bias to my best ability.
It's really not. Most are lazy and incompetent, but graduated. I'm not speaking out of arrogance or ignorance. I worked in the hospital 10 years and in the outpatient 5, plastic surgery assistant for 6. More don't care. Sad but true.
Very rarely do you find a nurse that actually works hard. The field is over saturated now and full of gossip girls and lazy brainless zombies. I was a nurse tech for 10 years, BSN for 2 years and now I am a critical care physician. It’s sad how entitled and arrogant most nurses are nowadays.
I witnessed 2 brand new young nurses manhandle my terminally ill 81 year old father to the point he stopped breathing. Incidentally, the entire staff rushed in after I yelled for them to get help and revitalized him. They had no business practicing on him.I had words with the head nurse who apologized for the lack of experience of the nurses under her watch. It was also disheartening to witness the revolving care to which I had to continuously familiarize each new staff member to his condition. They kept him in a tiny room with the door shut. He died 2 hrs one night after I left. He could have done the same thing at his home more comfortably without all the hassles. I hope I don't go in a hospital like he did.
Shut up
As a nurse who’s walked away from this field, I truly enjoyed this interview. You can tell she’s a great nurse. Very inspiring ❤️
What a professional nurse! No inside crunchy personnals stories ( asked by Mark x times) but general conditions. This is ethical manners!
Mark was trying to get the gory details for sure lol
he always does. it. was interesting at first but became creepy.
@@CallieDHopesto make the interview interesting. Saying “I’ve seen it all” isn’t that captivating.
@@DSPsWifesBfyes … saying I’ve seen it all doesn’t describe anything… it’s assuming the listener knows what that means. So, we sit here somewhat clueless and having to imagine what “it all” means.
@@tinam761 agreed. The entire reason I watched the interview is to hear her stories. Not general knowledge like “we see a lot”.
She seems kind-hearted, not judging, truly wanting the best for others✅️
i hope she doesn't dress like that in jail.
She ain't hard to look @; either.
God judges
@@handled99 so do humans. it's the thing we excel at.
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.
what do you expect - she is handling life and death - you want her to be toothless and babbling incoherent ?
As a fellow nurse, Nurse D is a gem and made of the same cloth that all good nurses are made of. Thank You, Nurse D for your service to your patients! They will remember your kindness in their world which is all too often so unkind.
I'm also a corrections nurse, I make it a point to NOT know why my patients are locked up! Everyone judges, everyone is biased in their own way. I choose not to be like that.
I did prison nursing for a while. Most of us looked them up in DOC system out of curiosity. Never affected how I perceived them healthwise.
I like to think if you’re a nurse and you ask: “so what brings you in here?” And the inmate goes: “oh I robbed a few banks…” no… no. 😭😭😂😂
I taught college courses at a federal women's prison for five years. I never looked up my students until after the class was over. Their crimes went from tax fraud to murder of a child, and everything in between. I knew that it could affect me unconsciously and that would impair my student-prof relationship with them.
Same! Though there is really no way around my death row and high profile inmates.
I will never forget watching a show (I won't say which one, but think of 20/20, Dateline, etc.), and up popped a pic of an inmate I provided care to. That was one for the books! 🤣
Thanks for being this way! Defense atty here. There is so much bias in healthcare in general. It’s profoundly important to recognize it in the corrections context. Thank you for your service. ❤
Nurse D deserves a huge raise . God bless her heart. She really believes in unbiased care which is incredibly important in any healthcare environment .
I’d give her raise
Nurse D definitely needs a boost in her pay. God Bless her Heart for truly enjoying her job, and caring for People unbiased. ❤
very true and she exposed without saying, that there IS nurses and people of healthcare who are biased against these inmates.
For doing her job?
@@animal79thecatpeople get raises for doing their job exceptionally well 🤡
I've been a nurse for almost 30yrs. I worked at Tulsa County jail for years. It was my favorite place to work. She's correct about jail politics. If I told an offender I was going to do something I did it. I always said I was there to provide care not to judge. I treated everyone with respect as long as they treated me with respect. I hated anyone in there that mistreated people. There's really one convient store in close proximity to the jail,it's downtown. That is where most homeless congregate. I ran into alot of people that I served during their confinement. I was often thanked for treating them with kindness and like they are human. That was so rewarding and so sad at the same. They dont experience much kindness and that is ridiculous. If you are void of empathy that is not a place for you.
I understand that she keeps working there and is not into personal storys because it would affecr her career. But maybe Mark can interview you and you can tell a story the world needs to hear. This interview with nurse D was nice and she is awesome but answers were too general.
@@liivikasaarman995I agree 👍
I’m a nurse in Tulsa as well!💞
David L Moss!
As a mother of a son that’s been in/out of LA County jail, thank you for sharing your insight, and providing the care that you do. You are amazing and very much appreciated. Again, thank you.
Tell that foo to get off the meth and fentanyl 😂
It’s an actor / I did 6 months in LA County there is no medical care you would have to be in a coma to ever see a doctor and or nurse . Sucks to see a cop plant as a nurse and lie to avoid lawsuits which would bring positive changes to La County
@@stevec310 😂very good point she hast to be an actor and the face for the medical unit in the jail but in all reality, you will not see this lady unless you’re dead have fun trying to look at her then ⛓️😂
@@stevec310 I am sorry that I got fooled even for a second because I totally believe you just like Ryan Leoni’s story when he was coming off of methadone and heroin in MDC LA and when the nurse finally came to him after days of screaming, bloody murder, she said I’ll get something to help you then three hours later comes back with an 800 mg ibuprofen, “” the strong kind “😂😂 so basically get fucked ❤️
So is she an actor or a cop lol@@stevec310
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.
Thank you. In my country doctors are on months long strike, they want private healthcare system, won't take patients for months, guess who is in the last line of defense; nurses.
I'm super sorry for saying this. But why would u like to revive these type of cruminals? After an overdose? Be safe and seems like you are a pretty cool nurse.
What a difference maker
Please also share that there is at least one error that needs to be called out. Being afraid of fentanyl "exposure" is insane and demonstrates poor understanding and knowledge of the drug, as well as chemistry in general. Not what we want to see in healthcare. This stupid myth is too prevalent in what are supposed to be educated professionals.
You definitely should show this to your nursing team. I’ve worked in healthcare most of my life with a lot of nurses and I’m not a fan of a lot of them. Unfortunately, I worked with more horrible, uncaring, often addicted, nurses, than the those who want to help or have compassion. Many are there for the pay and the pension, not to help, and I’ve seen them make people purposely suffer because they’re on a power trip, or just plain hate their job. I’ve seen and worked with nurses who simply do not like people and should not be in that profession. It sure changed my outlook on nurses, and it’s heartwarming when you run into a few who are caring and non-judgmental.
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.
It’s a bummer that it’s a privilege and not a necessity. Those people lived hard lives and I bet PT keeps them from needing further treatment or more invasive treatment.
@@jules8029a bummer? Don't go to prison
@@handled99Your mind set is gross. In America, the system we voted for and created says that when we incarcerat anyone, we don't not abuse or neglect them physically. You cannot lock a human being up and then not provide the medical care that they need. That's called torture and cruel and unusual punishment and that's not what our system is supposed to be about.
@@JennAmazed Maybe they should have thought about that before they committed crimes. In other countries they'll just flat out execute you on the spot or chop off the hands of a thief. In the bible, it says those who practice sin will be thrown into hell.
So if that is how God sees things, why do you think giving them a free pass will benefit them when God himself judges them? Are you God? You live in the land of no accountability, Satan is the same way.
@@handled99 you think that treated humans humanely is condoning sin? I'll pray for you.
Retired after 40 yrs of ICU/ER in community hospitals. Became un-retired after 2 yrs to work in a med/max men’s prison two days a week. Didn’t know how much I would come to love it. 72 now!
Teresa got ha grooove back 🎉😂❤
refreshing. my brother got into nursing (ER) in Seattle because he said, "I was tired of being broke."
he recently retired and is one of the most jaded people I know. glad to see people who actually stay on top of their humanity.
😅 Also ED RN. Really enjoyed almost all of my patients but myself am jaded a bit. The crazies and addicts were sometimes more of a challenge. Probably have a little PTSD or so my wife says.
Probably some compassion fatigue.
But was able to retire a little early and not worry about money ( the possibility of having to go back to work)
Great respect for this nurse. She definitely found her niche. The people you serve are blessed to have you. Thank you for sharing.
I love individuals like her. They make the difference and are the light many of us need in the dark ❤
What an intelligent, savvy, compassionate, well-spoken and fascinating woman. She never let's go of the fact that she is there to be a nurse, not to judge. What a life she leads. Great interview.
I want a longer video of how she grew up and to get a better insight on why and how she got the strong personality she shines. Thank you, Nurse D. Thank you, Mark. Great watch. Very inspiring. This is a video I want to share with my children for an insight on helping people and its more age appropriate for them then most videos so far.
Great idea to share with your kids. They need to understand how other people's lives can be so different from their own.
Ty Nurse D. Former inmate here who has nothing but gratitude for the nurses and medical staff throughout my few years locked up. Appreciate you
Hope you are thriving, sweetheart ❤❤❤
Fellow nurse here; worked at County jail for 2 years. The inmates were mostly respectful, but the custody officers were less than helpful. Safety was paramount. If officers were doing their job, I would of stayed. Thank you for explaining our profession and our intention to help.
You would have? Can you elaborate?
She seems like a true nurse. There are many who show no empathy but she obviously isnt that way.
My husband was a prison nurse for a while. He always said they treated him better than most hospital patients. What she said about the code is the thing, he honestly didn’t care what they’d done and respected them, they knew he was really there to help them, and respected him. He only left that job because of the commute, and now works at home, he actually enjoyed it.
She has a lot of empathy, refreshing interview. Thank you. God bless you.

I can tell Nurse D does not play around and just by her demeanor I can tell she’s the perfect nurse for that specific environment, though I’m sure with her background she could work just about anywhere now and not be phased.
Love seeing more interviews from people in helping fields trying to rehabilitate society. Would love to hear from more nurses in different settings, social workers of all different backgrounds, counselors and therapists, OTs, PTs, I myself am a licensed massage therapist and would love to see an interview from an LMT. Thank you Nurse D and Mark!❤
I already know ya’ll have weird stories to tell. I can imagine the people ya’ll run across wanting a lot more than what they paid for.
Great idea, it would be interesting and enlightening to see perspectives across the “helper” spectrum.
I’m an RN. Never worked in jail/prison, but worked in ICU. She is correct in so much she said. Our ICU, got many patients from county jail. They were ALWAYS polite, appreciative and respectful in my experience.
Because you treat them like a human being!
Same, always polite in the units but not so in "their home" as she says. Corrections is BURN OUT city. I'd never ever do it again because my safety was compromised due to staffing issues. Prisons and jails are woefully understaffed with officers/guards. She will change her mind fast when the event she never expected happens.
yes because on the streets you talk sh!t you get h!t! Where as with "civilized" society you can get away with being rude.
@@windermere2330well they didn't treat their victims like human beings, so, fuck'em!
As a fellow healthcare professional; I see this woman as being a skilled example of a nurse working in an incredibly difficult environment to meet patients where they’re at physically, emotionally, and mentally. Hats off to her; and thanks to you for providing platform to highlight the excellent work. She thousands of others do for vulnerable people.
As a mental health nurse here in the uk, I just want to say thank you to the nurse and for her understanding and hard work 🫶
MY WIFE is an R.N. In Los Angeles. She has the luxury of working from home. Still makes $150K. She said she would never work in the prison system. It is way to dangerous for a woman. Hats off for this nurse.
Can I ask you what she does as a nurse from home? I can't imagine there are patients coming to your house.😂😂
It’s not as bad as it seems. Respect is huge in prison. You’re dealing with a dangerous population but, not anymore dangerous than on the outside. You have guards with you also.
@@Lilliesandlilacs He's full of sh*t
@@Lilliesandlilacs that's what I want to know too ???
How do you work from home as a R.N?
So Calm, intelligent & Non judgmental. Way to Go Nurse D! Keep up the good work⭐️
WOW....what an excellent interview. She is so passionate about her job to many people we would throw away. I cannot believe she is Nurse in one of roughest jails. She is so pretty and smart and poised. Great job Nurse D.
Thank the for your valuable kindness and support to the people who are most judged for their addiction.
No one wakes up and says "I aspire to be an addict ".
Grew up by the beach, had a Beautiful Mom, but something happened to me and I just wanted the pain and memories to go. I have 23 years clean, thank G-D never ended up in the Criminal Justice System, but it could have been me in there. Your compassion and understanding is crucial along with some tough talks.
I had to retire early from my RN career due to a Spinal Tumor, but I'm helping people with my business of Stem Cell Activation Patches. I definitely miss nursing and knowing people like you are out there makes me so proud!!
I appreciate your valuable time and hard work with a population that is challenging.
Sending Love Peace and Hope to All 🌟
Stem Cell activation patches? I imagine this is saving lives.
I use Lifewave patches. They are excellent 👌
Excellent interview. Nurses are so vitally important especially in underserved areas and communities. I can absolutely see her succeeding with her personality where others have failed ❤
Shes an amazing professional with the heart and soul of a sociologist!!! Those guys are soooooo lucky to have her!!!
She is such an incredible person! As someone who also works closely with mental health she really restores my faith in humanity.
I’m so impressed and inspired by Nurse D. I’m working as a CNA and will go back to school.
She’s a nice woman . God bless her . That job is rough.
Absolutely! My daughter was a corrections office for several years, some stories are horror stories.
It takes a certain type of person to take on this profession. My mum is a nurse which has been a wonderful help growing up. My cousin followed in her footsteps but I could never because I am far too empathetic and I would be an emotional wreck. Bravo to the worlds medical staff ❤❤❤❤
Yes girl yes!! It lights a small spark in my heart, knowing there are people like you who care about the psychological aspect of addiction medicine. There are so few who understand 🖤🖤🖤
The inmate, prison guard, warden videos are my favorite. Prison is such a surreal topic, almost unbelievable. I am fascinated by it.
I was a Correctional Officer in California. What goes on inside a prison is a complete clown world. I worked in level 4 (highest security) and psychotic blocks. So my experience was more extreme than what would happen in a lower level prison. You just wouldn't believe what I've seen. Californias libtard policies make it so much worse.
Attitude means everything when you walk into a work environment, wherever you work you have to demand respect.
*command respect
Commandeer respect*
I love this girl 🌸 As a 32 yr RN, working a psych and addiction facility, she’s exactly on track on how to be as affective as possible to try to help these lost souls ⭐️ (love the tatts, have similar 👍🏼) She’s awesome, pretty, and smart with a beautiful soul !!!
Amazingly, she doesn't get burnt out. My Daughter is a nurse and they deserve much more pay for what they do. Very special and caring people.
Nursing is one of the most overpaid professions
@@howtorawkno, it isn’t. Overpaid? We spend more time with the patient than the physician does (unless it’s for an invasive surgery). We are expected to have the same medical and health history, pharm, pathology knowledge that physicians do because it’s up to nurses to relay emergent and urgent assessment changes to the physician so as to maintain and save the patients life.
@@howtorawkdefinitely not overpaid. You must have no idea how hard the work is pre-licensure. Definitely hard work in the many areas nursing exists!
@@howtorawk RN for 33 years. The most ignorant comment I have read in awhile.
Nurse D … you’re made for this work. Bless you!! 🙏💕✨
Fellow ICU RN. Thank you for sharing your experience 💝 nurses like you make me proud I’m a nurse!!
Nurse D, thank you for carrying the torch into jail. I am with you always in your struggles, people take as good care of yourself as you do for others, you are making an impression on these poor souls for the good, keep walking the path, much love and support I send you.
Loved this interview! I worked in corrections nursing for 4 years and she speaks truth! You give respect to get respect! Goes a long way!
This is a remarkable story. She wanted criminal justice in the beginning, so she got it along with doing her nursing. The universe has a way of directing our paths. ❤❤
omg - another bot comment
Fellow RN here, thank you for what you do!!
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.
What a beautiful human being. So refreshing to listen to such a prudent, positive, strong and wise woman. It is important to realize that people like nurse D are the ones who really contribute to the society and should be recognized and respected. She is a role model and a great inspiration.
I worked at CMF as a corrections nurse. I tried to make an impact no matter who the patient was. Give respect and treat everyone as best as humanly possible. I wasn’t there to judge. They got that enough.

I loved this interview. Personally, for me this was very impacting. As I am in the process of taking classes to apply for a nursing program. Seeing someone as genuine and happy as she is doing this incredibly challenging job is inspiring. Thank you for all you do and for being a great role model for current and future nurses.
I was a county (Austin area) jail nurse for 1 year, before shifting to Psychologist, and it was a great time.
Lot's of MS13, Mexican Mafia, and Aryan types at my facility and Nurse D hit the nail on the head - it's ALL about giving respect, getting respect.
It doesn't work the other way and this is why cops that don't deescalate a situation pisses me off.
Another great interview, Mark.
Thanks for sharing, Nurse D.
I was a nurse at a psychiatric prison. I graduated in 2005 and only left because I was pregnant and it just wasn't safe for me. I learned more in that one year than I did in the four years of college. Its not for everyone!!! God bless you Nurse D!
More interviews like these, please!
AGREED ! Seeing these videos are inspiring and refreshing to see ! Especially her !
What I like about her is that she’s compassionate! And she’s genuinely a Loving person! Her dedication to help total strangers because it’s her job and not being bias is what the world needs more of! She’s definitely a Jewel At heart! ❤️ Nurse D💕💕
Much respect to Nurse D. I worked in a Cancer hospital in my local city for 22+ years. I am a Dietary Technologist & worked along with the nurses & doctors to give care...as a team. We would have inmates coming in for treatment & would be admitted, but they would be guarded with security 24/7. I would never have to visit them. The nurses,
doctors, & only lab workers(taking blood samples) would only be visiting them. I can't imagine putting myself in harms way every day. I wouldn't want to do that. She definitely has the personality to handle that. Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍🇨🇦😊
She told us “a lot” without saying much. I would love to have her back to tell actual stories that she has experienced.
Back in the late '70s, my friend's mom was an RN that worked at Sybil Brand Institute for Women in LA County. The stories she would tell as well as the advise for us kids. Tough women that deserve our respect.
I spent some time at Sybil Brand back in the early 80’s in my addiction.
The addiction specialist, Gabor Maté, has always argued that we incarcerate the most vulnerable among us.
Highest respect to this nurse who provides care without judging.☮️❤️
Love Gabor❤❤
Trauma takes a toll and ravages whole communities. Most inmates I believe had some form of major trauma stemming from a young age. It so important to continue prison programs that support addiction treatment and mental heath. I loved your talk Nurse D. Keep up the great work!!
See: The Compassion Prison Project, “Step Inside the Circle.”
This group has shown that 100% of inmates have suffered some type of adverse childhood experience. This supports Gabor Maté’s theory that we’re incarcerating our most vulnerable citizens.
Not all victims of childhood trauma become addicts, but all addicts were traumatized as children, in one form or another.
Plus, not all addictions are chemical, but many are behavioral, as well.
And as you say, entire communities can be ravaged by trauma and intergenerational trauma.
Again, highest respect to this nurse for her empathic and non judgmental attitude.❤
Thanks for posting about the Compassion Prison Project. Very interesting!

Also see the documentary,
Doing Time, Doing Vipassana
(1997)
It’s about a prison in India that healed both the inmates and guards using Vipassana meditation.
You can watch the full documentary on CZcams.
A similar program was enacted at the Donaldson Correctional Facility in Bessemer, Alabama, using Vipassana meditation.
A documentary was also made about this program in 2010 called, The Dhamma Brothers.
I don’t know if this film is readily available for streaming though.
❤️
I am not a nurse but, i think she is amazing. Without putting prisoners down and discussing their problems, she showed respect and kindness towards these individuals . Thankyou ma,am. God Blessyou and keep you safe .
Nurses are SO underrated and they are truly the hardest and most CARING workers thank you to ALLL the nurses ❤
From one RN to another....great interview bringing light to correctional nursing. I worked downtown LA in the ER and also saw a lot of crazy things! Great job D!
Where did she say she was a registered nurse?
@@Policearegood-mt6kx She said she is nurse. Maybe she is an LVN--regardless both RN's and LVN's play important roles in healthcare. Do you prefer "from one Rn to another nurse" ? Why do people nit pick so much? There are bigger issues in the world than micro screening words. I have my BSN, CPHON, WOCN, AMB-BC but still at the end of the day all nurses work toward the same goal--safe, quality patient care. Of course, as with any profession, you have the outliers.
@@user-sm1cb1ut7l I was just wondering if I missed it. She probably is an RN if she took classes for several years.
Thank you Nurse D for your service and sharing your journey.
Thank you Nurse D. The world needs more compassionate people like you. I am graduating nursing school in 3 weeks with my eye set on corrections nursing. Your story only adds to my desire to serve this population.
'EXCELLENT NURSE' in EVERY SENSE of what nursing means! Nurse D., you touched my ♥.
Nurses and teachers should be the highest paid profession in our country
I’ve worked in corrections as a therapist and it’s not what I heard or saw that wore me down over time, it was the constant hyper vigilance that is necessary. It’s exhausting. I built great rapport and boundaries with the guys but you are working with land mines every day. This lady is so right for her role, she’s in it for the process not the finish line. I still work with this population but in a different setting and I love the process of providing help whether they take it or not.
I want to be an RN more than anything. I'm having a hard time finding an RN program in California near me. Much respect for you Nurse D!
She works from the heart and loves her job. What a superb human. I bet her patients know it too.
As a fellow nurse, I admire this woman. She is strong person with a good soul. I was also told I wouldn't fit in at my interview (by the guard at the door 😂) I went into my interview with that attitude and turned the job down. It takes a strong, confident person to do what she does.
What a respectable and dignified person. Its a relief to know there good folks out there like miss d, working with the most vulnerable of us. Thank u miss d!
Being tossed around the jail system in alberta Canada this lady is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for her and this interview. She cares about people and she does her job properly. Thank you for your compassion and care for people who need it
I’ve been a nurse case manager in a DOC for a decade. I also love my job and love helping the underserved. Nurse D the jail and prison system needs to clone you, you’re the epitome of the best correctional nurse, God bless you!
Nurse D is absolutely 💯 gorgeous/beautiful, intelligent, tough nurse. Whatever she’s getting paid it’s not enough. Great clip, “give respect, you get respect.”
I love this woman she’s super compassionate and kind and I love that she sees people for all being human and she has non judgmental care for them we need more people like her in this world
As a registered nurse in hospital settings for 20 years, I have SO much respect for you, Nurse D!!🙌 You're an inspiration to nurses like me who want to TRULY make a difference in our patients' lives. Much love to you💗
Soft White Underbelly thank you for doing this interview. Alot of people have careers where they are doing something for humanity and the never get credit for it. Nurse D is putting herself on the Frontline. Kudos to nurse D and Kudos to you. I'm saving this interview. My friend teaches nursing students and I would like her to show this to her students.
Wow what a beautiful soul! I'v just witnessed a real life guardian Angel that raise my admiration.
Little different for me….spent 25 years with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations, half in medical the other half custody and while Nurse D and I share the same “work ethic” I found it hard at times to have such a positive mental attitude as incarceration is in a word, grim. Best of luck to Nurse D and the rest of her career. She’s truly one in a million.
I was hoping for an interview like this and it finally happened! Thank you Mark
I'm a jail nurse too but I'm out in the Midwest (originally from SoCal) in a smaller county. We definitely don't have as many people as you do and we don't have the gangs like y'all do but it's definitely challenging. Been doing correctional nursing for 11 years now and it's all I know lol. I don't have an interest in other specialties.

I'm a corrections nurse, and it feels like working in a documentary everyday! I think that the ever changing environment helps to prevent burnout. It's a lot like working in an adult daycare with the structure, schedule, and personalities of the population.
Thank you Nurse D! Fellow RN here! Anytime I have spoken to RN students I reiterate…….”PAY ATTENTION IN YOUR PSYCH class and LEARN bc Mental illness affects EVERYONE from birth to the dying. It’s sad to see Mental Health not being addressed. We cannot in this profession be judgemental, there are all kinds of people in every category.
Thank you Mark for interviewing a fellow nurse! Nurse D….thank you girl, keep up the great work and take care ❤
When he said “That’s what I used to say too in these interviews but it just recently caught up to me… it affects you physically mentally everything.” That was so raw
Thanks for the interview Mark, this was a really good one.
I'm an RN myself and have so much respect for Nurse D. Professional, ethical, willing to do what is necessary to provide outstanding care for the best outcomes! Hard to do but absolutely necessary on nursing. Even under such difficult conditions kudos nurse D for changing lives one soul at a time! Stay safe
It's so refreshing to see someone who is tough & had class! It is possible!

One of my attendings gave me two words of advice: never ask what they are in for and always treat them with respect to get respect in return. He was so right. Knowing why they were in prison never helped matters. Also, treat them with respect and you will generally get it back. I rarely got attitude from them with this approach. Much respect to Nurse D. Being an attractive woman in the prison system can’t be easy.
Fascinating interview!
Your mindset is incredible! Thank you
Psych nurse here. Loved this interview ❤
Such a good interview! Nurse D- you can totally see that your personality is so perfect for being a corrections nurse. Bless your beautiful heart. I graduate my BSN program in 1 year, and I can’t wait to make a difference as well. Keep being you 💜
Another incredible interview! Thank you Nurse D! You rock!
Thank you Mark for posting this right around Nurse's Week. A lot of mental health nurses are not respected in the medical community, and correctional nurses are especially not respected or not part of the "cool clique" in nursing. These 2 specialties aren't just difficult, but they can be dangerous. Thank you Nurse D for what you! From one nurse to another! Stay Blessed 💖🙏🏼
It's so true. We don't know how these people were treated when they were children. You could be the first person to show them respect ever! Teaching others about a different way of life is huge
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.
