About The Position

Step into a pivotal role as a Registered Nurse in Corrections, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where your clinical expertise and compassionate approach will directly influence the health and safety of inmates, staff, and facility communities. This is more than a nursing assignment—it's an opportunity to shape outcomes in a demanding, live-action setting that demands precision, resilience, and calm under pressure. You’ll bring experienced assessment, critical thinking, and patient-centered care to every shift, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to build comprehensive care plans, manage acute needs, and promote ongoing wellness. As you imagine your impact, also imagine the beauty of the Keystone State: vibrant city life in Philadelphia, scenic river towns along the Delaware, rolling farmland and charming byways, and the refreshing calm of the Pocono Mountains—all complementing a career dedicated to service. Location benefits go beyond a dynamic urban milieu. Philadelphia offers access to leading healthcare networks, ongoing professional development, robust mentorship, and a culture that values well-being, equity, and excellence. The state of Pennsylvania itself presents a diverse tapestry of environments, from historic districts and world-class museums to outdoor adventures and serene countryside. For those who appreciate variety, this opportunity also provides the chance to work across different locations within the United States, enriching your clinical repertoire by adapting to a range of correctional facilities, patient populations, and operational models. You’ll gain exposure to diverse patient demographics, evolving care protocols, and novel public health challenges, all while enjoying the cultural richness and logistical conveniences of a broad nationwide network.

You’ll also engage in preventative health measures, vaccination programs, and population health initiatives within the facility context, contributing to better health literacy and continuity of care for a diverse inmate population. - Professional growth: this role is designed to expand your expertise in corrections nursing, mental health support, chronic disease management, geriatrics, and acute care in secure settings. You’ll have opportunities to pursue certifications, participate in quality improvement projects, and assume leadership or preceptorship duties as you demonstrate clinical excellence and a commitment to team-based care. - Competitive benefits: the assignment offers a competitive pay range of $1,839–$1,908 per week, with guaranteed hours of 40 per week. In addition, a sign-on bonus may be available, along with housing assistance to ease transition and reduce living costs during the assignment.

Expect credentialing support, travel planning, housing coordination, and seamless onboarding. A clinical liaison will remain a constant point of contact, ensuring you’re never navigating a complex shift schedule, regulatory requirements, or patient needs alone.
