Imagine applying your clinical precision to a wide range of patient needs, while advancing your practice in a setting that values vigilance, teamwork, and continuous improvement.

As a Corrections RN, you’ll assume key responsibilities that leverage clinical expertise and judgment. Provide comprehensive nursing assessments, administer medications accurately, monitor chronic conditions, perform wound care, triage urgent concerns, and respond to acute changes in patient status with composure and precision. Develop care plans in collaboration with physicians, psychiatrists, and mental health professionals, while documenting thoroughly in electronic health records. Support disease prevention, manage infection control protocols, and deliver patient education that promotes self‑management and safety. Embrace a culture of continuous improvement by engaging in quality improvement initiatives and adhering to safety standards designed to protect both patients and staff. The role also calls for strong communication with inmates, security teams, and external care providers, ensuring respectful, dignified care within the constraints of the setting. This assignment includes a robust pathway for professional growth, including exposure to diverse clinical scenarios, opportunities to gain specialized corrections certifications, and the chance to broaden your leadership capabilities through preceptorship or mentorship roles as you evolve in your career.
