Behind the Secure Doors : What Nursing School Doesn't Teach You About Safety, Boundaries, Mental Illness and Compassion in Forensic Settings

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Forensic mental health nursing sits at the intersection of healthcare, law, and public safety - a specialty most nursing programs barely touch. Behind the Secure Doors is the orientation and reflection guide the author wishes he'd had before his first shift. Drawing on experience across neurosurgical, community, correctional, acute psychiatric, and forensic mental health nursing in Ontario, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, the author walks readers through what the work actually requires: assessing patients before assuming the worst, holding professional boundaries without losing compassion, navigating legal literacy without practising law, and staying safe as a team rather than a hero. Across 32 chapters and seven parts, this book covers therapeutic communication in secure settings, medication and consent, safety and restraint, legal frameworks across all ten Canadian provinces, accountability after complaints or assault, and how to sustain a long career in this demanding specialty - all through composite clinical scenarios, practical checklists, and hard-won lessons. Written for nursing students, internationally educated nurses, and any RN considering a move into forensic or justice-connected care, this is a clear-eyed, compassionate guide to a specialty defined by holding two truths at once: safety and humanity, accountability and dignity.
