In this role you’ll be a critical link between health and humanity, providing continuous, quality care to adults in a setting that demands both clinical acumen and exceptional interpersonal skill. The assignment begins on 01/26/2026, with guaranteed 40 hours per week and pay that reflects your expertise: $1,839-$1,878 per week. This position operates on a Weeks duration, offering stability while you explore a spectrum of clinical experiences. Beyond the walls, Pennsylvania invites you to discover a mosaic of places—from the vibrant streets of Philadelphia, with its world‑class arts, cuisine, and history, to serene rural towns and rolling countryside. And because this opportunity sits within a national network, you may also access assignments in various locations across the U.S., expanding your professional horizon while maintaining your core commitment to patient advocacy and high‑quality correctional care.
Location Benefits: Working in Philadelphia situates you at the heart of a major urban center where you can thrive personally and professionally. You’ll experience a blend of historic neighborhoods, modern medical resources, and a cultural vibrancy that fuels resilience and collaboration. Pennsylvania’s scenic diversity—from the iconic skyline to the tranquil trails of state parks and the charm of small towns—offers moments of balance outside the facility. The role also provides the appeal of a national footprint, with potential opportunities to work in different jurisdictions across the United States. This means exposure to varied correctional health policies, populations, and care models, all while you bring consistent, patient‑centered nursing practice to the front line. You’ll have access to the support systems that keep you connected, informed, and empowered whenever you’re traveling or adjusting to a new facility, with resources designed to help you settle in quickly and feel at home wherever your duties take you.
Role Specifics and Benefits: In this position you’ll deliver comprehensive nursing care to adult populations within correctional settings, including intake assessments, triage, acute and chronic disease management, wound care, medication administration, and timely documentation within the Electronic Medical Record. You’ll monitor patient status, interpret evolving conditions, and collaborate with physicians, psychiatrists, social workers, security staff, and case managers to ensure safe, holistic care plans. You’ll support mental health needs, reinforce infection control, and implement individualized care plans that respect patient autonomy while meeting security requirements. Your role includes patient education on chronic disease management, medication adherence, and preventive health strategies to reduce acute episodes.
Professional growth plays a central role here. You’ll have access to specialty training in correctional health, evidence‑based practice, and population health strategies tailored to custodial settings. There are pathways to expand responsibilities through leadership tracks, precepting newer clinicians, and participating in quality improvement initiatives that enhance safety, throughput, and patient experience. The position emphasizes a robust, team‑based culture where learning is continuous and feedback is constructive.
This opportunity comes with competitive benefits designed to support you and your family. A sign‑on incentive or bonus is available, along with housing assistance to ease transition and relocation concerns. Extension opportunities allow you to lengthen your assignment if you wish to deepen your impact or explore additional facilities within the network. You’ll receive ongoing, 24/7 support from a dedicated travel and clinical coordination team, ensuring you’re never alone on assignment and that you have access to clinical advice, logistics help, and personal support whenever needed. The package aligns with an emphasis on safe staffing, reasonable workload, and a focus on your professional well‑being as you bring your expertise to the field.
