Step into a pivotal role as a Registered Nurse in Corrections, bringing compassionate care to individuals in secure settings while advancing your expertise in a specialty that sits at the intersection of clinical excellence and operational insight. In this corrections-focused assignment, your expertise will help safeguard health, uphold dignity, and support behavior health initiatives within Pennsylvania’s correctional facilities. Imagine the impact you can have when every assessment, every treatment plan, and every moment of patient advocacy contributes to safer communities and healthier outcomes. And as you explore your professional path, you’ll also have the chance to experience Pennsylvania’s diverse landscapes—from the lively waterfront of Philadelphia to serene countryside towns and historic neighborhoods—each offering its own unique rhythm and charm.
Separately, Pennsylvania is renowned for its rich cultural tapestry and natural beauty. From urban skylines framed by historic streets to state parks, rolling hills, and scenic byways, the state offers a rich mix of experiences. In your downtime, you can explore world-class museums, music and cuisine in the city, stroll riverwalks, and enjoy outdoor adventures in forests and mountains that showcase the region’s historic charm and seasonal splendor.
Location Benefits: Philadelphia places you at the heart of a thriving urban ecosystem with immediate access to top-tier medical networks, educational institutions, and professional communities. The opportunity to work in various locations across the U.S. provides a dynamic backdrop for growth, exposure to diverse inmate populations, and a breadth of clinical scenarios that sharpen decision-making and care coordination. You’ll benefit from a robust support system, proximity to mentors in correctional health, and the chance to build a national professional network. The city’s transit options, cultural venues, and affordable living options further enhance the day-to-day experience, making it easier to balance demanding shifts with personal time. Across assignments, you’ll encounter different facility cultures, security protocols, and interdisciplinary teams, all of which contribute to a deeper understanding of corrections nursing and the health needs of diverse populations.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Corrections RN, you’ll lead and participate in comprehensive patient assessments, triage, wound care, medication administration, chronic disease management, vaccination programs, and care planning for inmates with complex medical and mental health needs. You’ll collaborate with physicians, psychiatrists, social workers, security staff, and facility administrators to ensure safety, continuity of care, and timely treatment. Documentation and regulatory compliance are core responsibilities, with a focus on accurate electronic medical records, incident reporting, and quality improvement initiatives. The role offers substantial professional growth through exposure to forensic nursing principles, telehealth consults, and care coordination strategies tailored to secure environments. This position includes competitive benefits, a welcome bonus, and housing assistance to support a smooth transition. You may also have extension opportunities across multiple facilities, enabling longer-term skill development in corrections medicine and population health management. A guaranteed 16.0 hours weekly—alongside the standard scheduling flexibility—helps you plan beyond the shift. The compensation range is $1,819-$1,888 per week, with the assurance of a structured, multi-week engagement that starts on 02/23/2026. You’ll have access to 24/7 support from our traveling team, ensuring help is available whenever you need it, whether you’re coordinating care, navigating a new facility, or pursuing certifications and continuing education.

We champion a supportive work environment where experienced nurses mentor newer team members, and where career pathways lead to leadership roles or specialized practice areas within corrections. We’re dedicated to fostering autonomy, resilience, and professional satisfaction while maintaining a culture of safety, respect, and collaboration.
