Correctional Facility food for thought:

  • Safer than working in a hospital – There are so many rules in place and corrections officers are present.
  • Employment is based on budget, not census.
  • Try before committing permanently. Potential staff positions. Some nurses like the state benefits and pension plans!
  • Good retention rates. Facilities like to extend contracts.
  • Opportunity for more overtime than any other setting
  • Only need to have 12 months in the past 36 months in any specialty
  • Corrections nurses get to use their entire clinical skill set – Intake, Assessments, and Clinical/Medical Infirmary Care. Nurses frequently say, “Working in Corrections reminds me why I went to nursing school. I get to use all my skills.”

Requirements:

  • Current PMHNP fully autonomous licensure in Virginia
  • BLS
  • DEA
  • Experience: 1 years of recent relevant experience
  • Board Certified/ Board Eligible
