Embark on a transformative journey as a Travel Registered Nurse specializing in Corrections in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. This is more than a placement—it’s a mission where your clinical expertise meets a unique environment that demands resilience, empathy, and unwavering professionalism. You’ll deliver comprehensive, compassionate care to adults within the corrections system, partnering with facility leadership to manage acute events, chronic conditions, and everyday wellness in a setting that values safety as much as health. Starting 01/26/2026, you’ll join a dynamic team on a weeks-long assignment designed to challenge and grow your skills while making a tangible difference in inmate health outcomes and public safety. Imagine the impact you can have: reducing unnecessary hospital transfers, supporting mental health needs, optimizing medication management, and reinforcing preventive care in a setting where every decision matters. Beyond the clinical responsibilities, Pennsylvania’s diverse landscapes invite you to reconnect with nature and culture during your downtime. From the scenic Pocono Mountains to the historic streets of Philadelphia, the Keystone State offers a tapestry of outdoors, museums, and neighborhoods, reminding you that professional dedication and personal enrichment can flourish together.
Location Benefits: This opportunity centers in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, combining the energy of a major urban center with the accessibility of a broad corrective care network. You’ll experience the cadence of city life—cultural events, dining, and educational opportunities—while contributing to a system that prioritizes inmate health and safety. Importantly, the role also offers the option to work in varying locations across the U.S., exposing you to a spectrum of correctional settings, patient populations, and healthcare challenges. Such breadth enhances professional versatility, strengthens your clinical judgment, and expands your network of peers and mentors. You’ll gain exposure to different state regulations, care protocols, and interdisciplinary collaboration with correctional officers, case managers, and behavioral health specialists. The assignment structure supports consistent income, steady professional growth, and the flexibility that comes with travel nursing, all while carrying the distinctive stamp of corrections medicine.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Travel RN in Corrections, your primary duties include initial assessment, triage of acute and chronic conditions, administration of medications, wound care, and post-acute monitoring for inmates. You’ll coordinate with physicians and advanced practitioners to develop and implement individualized care plans, address infectious disease control, manage chronic illnesses such as hypertension and diabetes, monitor mental health needs, and document each encounter with precision in electronic medical records. Your responsibilities extend to discharge planning, health education, and preventive services that align with security protocols and facility policies. The role invites professional growth through exposure to correctional specialty guidelines, acute care scenarios, and population-specific health education. Enjoy a competitive benefits package that includes a signing bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities to maximize continuity of care and professional advancement. The arrangement comes with guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week, and a robust weekly pay range of $1,733 to $1,758. You’ll receive comprehensive support with 24/7 assistance from our dedicated travel nursing team, ensuring you have guidance and resources whenever you need them, whether you’re on site, between facilities, or returning home between assignments. We emphasize a collaborative environment where your voice is heard, your expertise is valued, and your professional goals are supported through structured pathways, continuing education options, and mentorship.
Company Values: Our company is built on empowering healthcare professionals to advance their careers while maintaining a supportive, appreciative workplace culture. We are committed to helping you grow—through ongoing education, clear career ladders, and opportunities to expand your scope of practice within corrections or transition into related specialties. You’ll join a community that prioritizes safety, integrity, and respect, and which actively fosters camaraderie among clinical teams, facility staff, and leadership. Our mission is to enable you to deliver patient-centered care with confidence, while providing you with resources, recognition, and stable, long-term prospects within a diverse and humane healthcare landscape.
