Job Description
Step into a purpose‑driven role as a Registered Nurse for Corrections in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where your clinical expertise meets the demands of a secure, fast‑paced environment. In this specialty, your care extends beyond routine treatment: you’ll assess, triage, and treat inmates with a range of needs from acute illness to chronic disease management, post‑operative care, wound management, and health coaching. You’ll collaborate with physicians, psychiatrists, and case managers to develop and implement care plans that improve outcomes, reduce risk, and promote dignity in every interaction. This multi‑week assignment begins 01/11/2026, with a guaranteed 36 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $1,667–$1,759, reflecting the essential skill you bring to this critical setting. You’ll have meaningful opportunities to grow within the corrections specialty, expanding clinical leadership, mentoring colleagues, and contributing to quality improvement efforts that elevate standard of care across facilities.
Separately, Pennsylvania offers a landscape of beauty and inspiration that complements a demanding career. In addition to Philadelphia’s vibrant arts and dining scenes, you can explore nearby treasures—from the historic streets of downtown to the green mountains and rolling farmlands of the Commonwealth. Weekend getaways to the Pocono Mountains, charming river towns, and picturesque countryside provide refreshing counterpoints to demanding shifts, reminding you that care and exploration can harmonize under one flexible journey.
Location Benefits: Working in Philadelphia means you’ll be embedded in a robust healthcare ecosystem with strong hospital partnerships, diverse patient populations, and interdisciplinary teams that value meticulous clinical practice. The city’s accessibility, cultural richness, and professional networks create a dynamic home base for a nurse who thrives on continuous learning. For those who enjoy variety, the opportunity to travel to multiple sites across the United States is built into the role, exposing you to different correctional settings, protocols, and population health challenges. This breadth of experience broadens your clinical acumen, strengthens your resume, and offers you unique perspectives on inmate care, prevention strategies, and operational workflows—while still letting you enjoy Pennsylvania’s renowned livability when you’re off duty.
Role Responsibilities and Growth: As a Corrections RN, you’ll perform comprehensive health assessments, administer medications, and coordinate urgent and routine care with precision and empathy. You’ll monitor vital signs, manage chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, perform wound care, and respond to medical and behavioral health needs with composure and clear documentation. You’ll conduct health education for inmates, support transition planning, and contribute to safety-focused care strategies that align with facility protocols. Documentation will be thorough, consistent, and compliant with privacy standards, ensuring seamless communication with the broader care team. The assignment offers clear pathways for professional advancement within corrections nursing, including opportunities to lead clinical initiatives, obtain certifications, or mentor newer staff. We enhance your experience with competitive benefits, including a signing bonus, housing assistance, and opportunities to extend the contract based on performance and facility needs. Comprehensive support is a cornerstone of the program, with 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, dedicated onboarding, and ongoing access to clinical and operational resources designed to help you excel from day one.
