Consider a career in Correctional Nursing! This unique opportunity will be of interest to a dynamic and broadly-experienced nurse who would like to become a member of a professional medical unit that provides assessment and treatment to clients within a correctional environment. This environment is highly autonomous and requires nursing staff to work independently and in consultation with the on-call physician. This is a challenging, fast paced, dynamic environment providing a unique experience not seen in traditional nursing roles.
