In the correctional setting, the correctional nurse provides professional nursing and care to incarcerated individuals, who are their patients in various public and private correctional facilities, including juvenile detention centers, county jails, prisons, and state and federal holding facilities. The role of a correctional nurse varies by institution; however, all nurses must be proficient in meeting the common needs of the incarcerated patients that they care for, all while assisting in maintaining a safe, secure environment for themselves, their patients, and other staff members.
