About This Role
You'll work 12-hour night shifts on a rotating schedule that includes every other weekend at a correctional facility, providing direct patient care as the primary nursing resource during overnight hours. This role demands strong clinical judgment and the ability to handle medical situations independently, as you'll be the steady presence inmates depend on when emergencies arise after hours. The position suits nurses who thrive in structured environments, stay calm under pressure, and can work autonomously with minimal supervision. You'll conduct health assessments, administer medications, monitor vital signs, and respond to acute health concerns throughout your shift. This is full-time employment offering stable, consistent hours—ideal for someone who prefers night work and wants predictable scheduling within a correctional healthcare setting.
