Corrections Nursing is a unique and exciting aspect of community health. Corrections nurses help our patients navigate mental health issues, addictions issues and often educate them on managing chronic conditions and new diagnosis. Many patients do not receive regular healthcare in the community. While these patients are in a controlled and organized environment, corrections nurses have an opportunity to help them manage their own health and live better lives.
We welcome anyone curious about Corrections Nursing at the Grafton County Department of Corrections to call the medical department and we would love to give you a tour. We are proud of our clean, modern, well maintained facility.
Requirements
Full-Time, Varied Hours, or Per Diem
RN: $36.08-$48.12
LPN: $29.57-$39.00
Corrections nurses work under the direction of the Medical Coordinator. They deliver care to all inmates at the Grafton County Department of Corrections. The Department of Corrections is a secure and safe environment and officers are present whenever a nurse is caring for an inmate. Corrections nurses receive security training as part of orientation and following security protocols is a critical job responsibility. Patients requiring higher acuity of care are outside the normal scope of work at the Department of Corrections and bed transfers, assisted bathing and many other physically demanding aspects of nursing are very infrequent inside the Department of Corrections.
Applicants must be licensed as a Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse by the State of New Hampshire. At least three years of nursing experience is preferred. Experience in many specialty areas of nursing is valuable in Corrections Nursing, including acute care, ICU, psychiatric and emergency room. Candidates must submit to a thorough background investigation and criminal record check.
