Step into a role that blends clinical expertise with corrections-based care. As a Registered Nurse specializing in Corrections, you’ll deliver essential healthcare to adults in custody, providing compassionate, high-quality care inside facilities in Clayton, Alabama. The assignment begins 02/23/2026 and runs for multiple weeks with guaranteed 40 hours per week, giving you stability and focus. Expect a competitive weekly pay between $1,816 and $1,838 that reflects your professional skill, reliability, and the critical difference you’ll make every shift. This is more than a temporary assignment; it’s an opportunity to expand your clinical repertoire, navigate the unique dynamics of correctional health, and become a trusted member of a dedicated care team.

Clayton and the broader Alabama landscape offer a compelling backdrop for your professional journey. You’ll work within a supportive community that values teamwork, safety, and patient dignity, while enjoying access to diverse clinical cases.

In Alabama, you’ll find a balance of regional charm and modern amenities, where you can unwind after shifts with easy access to parks, lakes, and welcoming towns.

Your responsibilities will include comprehensive triage and primary assessments for inmates, medication administration and reconciliation, chronic disease management, wound and infection control, mental health screening and crisis intervention, and timely documentation in electronic health records. You’ll collaborate with physicians, psychiatrists, nursing leadership, and corrections staff to coordinate safe care delivery while upholding security and compliance standards. The position offers professional growth within corrections nursing—opportunities to deepen clinical proficiency in areas such as acute care, geriatrics, and behavioral health, plus pathways for credentialing, certifications, and leadership development. Benefits include a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and opportunities to extend your contract if you wish to continue your work beyond the initial assignment. You’ll also have robust travel support, with a dedicated 24/7 team available to help you navigate scheduling, housing, transportation, and any on‑the‑road needs, so you can focus on patient care.
