Why Correctional Nursing?

Correctional healthcare gives nurses the opportunity to practice with a high level of autonomy and use skills across many areas of nursing. You may encounter chronic disease management, medication administration, urgent medical needs, mental health concerns, substance-use-related conditions, and patient education—all within the same setting. For nurses who enjoy variety and want to make a meaningful impact, correctional healthcare can offer a nursing experience unlike a traditional hospital or clinic environment.
