“My biggest advice: It is NOT for everyone, but if the idea of working in correctional nursing interests you, please reach out to a corrections nurse and ask if they would recommend the job. I can honestly say that all my co-workers would say YES!”
-- Nurse at Milner Ridge Correctional Centre
“I was always interested in correctional nursing as I wanted to provide service to those who are often left behind by society. In a correctional facility, the population often receives the best care they have ever received due to their life circumstances. It’s also an opportunity to expand skills in a safe environment where nurses are supported by a team. It’s very rewarding and I would highly recommend it as a career.”
