Bleeding can often be a regular occurrence as a corrections officer, especially when it comes to noncompliant inmates. If you get elbowed in the face, you could be dealing with a nosebleed.
Of course, there are many other reasons on why your nose might be bleeding. Minor irritations and colds easily cause nosebleeds.
Most nose bleeds occur on the front of the nasal septum. This is the piece of tissue that separates the two sides of the nose.
