Take the lead in correctional health as a Registered Nurse specializing in Corrections, stationed in Cleveland, Ohio, with exciting opportunities to serve across diverse facilities nationwide. This role places you at the nexus of acute care, chronic disease management, infection control, and population health within a correctional setting, where your clinical expertise translates into safer environments, improved inmate wellbeing, and measurable outcomes for facilities and communities. You’ll assess, plan, implement, and evaluate care for adults with varied health needs, from routine med administration and triage to complex care coordination. Picture yourself coordinating timely vaccinations, wound care, diabetes and hypertension management, mental health screening, and preventive care programs—all while navigating the unique workflows of correctional health. This is more than care delivery; it’s a chance to exercise clinical judgment, adaptive problem solving, and compassionate communication in an environment that challenges you to grow every day. And as you contribute to safer facilities and healthier lives, you’ll build a versatile skill set that strengthens your nursing trajectory in any setting across the country. Ohio’s beauty—from the lakefront charm of Cleveland to nearby parks and vibrant cultural districts—offers enriching living experiences off duty, while opportunities to travel for assignments provide fresh perspectives, new professional relationships, and renewed purpose throughout your career.

Location Benefits: Cleveland sits at the crossroads of industry, education, and culture, delivering a thriving urban experience with accessible amenities, diverse dining, and a waterfront backdrop along Lake Erie. Living in Ohio offers reasonable cost of living paired with rich regional experiences—sports, arts, outdoor recreation, and seasonal events. For those drawn to broader horizons, this role affords the option to work across various U.S. correctional facilities, enabling you to broaden clinical competencies, encounter different patient populations, and cultivate a nationwide professional network. You’ll have the chance to immerse yourself in distinct facility cultures, learn best practices in infection control and patient safety, and return with a wider toolbox of approaches to complex health needs. Start dates, and rotations, may be structured to align with facility schedules, while the Cleveland base provides a convenient home base with access to local amenities, strong healthcare ecosystems, and a supportive community that values healthcare professionals.

Role Specifics and Benefits: In this assignment, you will deliver high‑caliber nursing care to adult inmate populations within correctional health services. Key responsibilities include comprehensive patient assessment, rapid triage of acute concerns, timely medication administration, and monitoring of vital signs and clinical status. You’ll perform wound care, wound management, and routine nursing procedures, while coordinating with physicians and a multidisciplinary team to develop and execute care plans. You will manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and obesity within the correctional context, emphasizing preventive care, vaccination, health education, and discharge planning when applicable. Documentation in electronic medical records will be meticulous and compliant, with a focus on accuracy, confidentiality, and continuity of care. You’ll participate in infection control initiatives, safety protocols, and quality improvement projects, contributing to safer facilities and better health outcomes. The role offers clear opportunities for professional growth: specialization in correctional health practices, leadership pathways, and ongoing education credits, with potential for case management responsibilities and peer education roles. Compensation is competitive, including weekly pay between $2,122 and $2,144, with a sign‑on bonus opportunity, housing assistance, and contract extension opportunities. While assigned, you will receive comprehensive support from a dedicated team, including 24/7 assistance for travel logistics, clinical questions, and on‑site coordination, ensuring you’re never alone on assignment. Start date is 12/22/2025, and each assignment is structured in weeks with the potential for extensions based on facility needs and performance.
