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.

Requirements

Corrections nurses work under the direction of the Medical Coordinator. Corrections nurses 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 Dept of Corrections.
