Travel Registered Nurse Corrections Job

Embark on a meaningful journey as a Registered Nurse in Corrections in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where your clinical expertise becomes a cornerstone of inmate health, safety, and rehabilitation. In this role, you will deliver compassionate, evidence-based care in a security-conscious setting, partnering with physicians, case managers, and correctional staff to manage acute episodes, chronic conditions, wound care, medication administration, and behavioral health support. You will triage, assess, and communicate clearly under pressure, ensuring continuity of care across shifts and units. This weeks-long assignment begins on 03/09/2026 and offers a reliable schedule with guaranteed hours, including weekly pay of $1,656–$1,805 and a guaranteed 36.0 hours per week.

Philadelphia’s energy, history, and cultural richness make it a compelling backdrop for clinical work. From the iconic skyline and historic districts to vibrant neighborhoods and culinary scenes, you’ll find inspiration and balance off the clock. Beyond the city, Pennsylvania offers scenic getaways—from the Pocono Mountains to lakes and countryside—perfect for downtime between shifts. For those who crave broader opportunities, this role also provides the option to rotate to multiple facilities within Pennsylvania or across the United States, broadening your professional horizon and exposing you to diverse patient populations and correctional health models.

Core responsibilities include conducting comprehensive assessments, triaging urgent concerns, performing wound care and routine procedures, safely administering medications, managing chronic diseases, and supporting behavioral health needs. You’ll implement infection control practices, participate in rounds and safety drills, document meticulously in electronic medical records, and collaborate with corrections officers and unit leadership to maintain safe, humane care environments. The position supports professional growth within corrections nursing, offering pathways to lead clinical teams, pursue additional certifications, and expand responsibilities as you gain experience. You’ll have opportunities to advance toward charge nurse roles, specialty certifications, and leadership positions that align with your career goals.

What sets this opportunity apart are the benefits and the people behind it. In addition to competitive weekly pay, you can expect housing assistance and potential sign-on or retention bonuses, as well as extension opportunities to continue your impactful work beyond the initial contract. You’ll enjoy comprehensive support from a dedicated travel team with 24/7 availability, on-call clinical liaison, and robust safety resources to ensure you’re protected and prepared wherever your assignment takes you. A culture of empowerment underpins everything we do: we invest in our nurses through mentorship, continuing education, and clear career pathways, helping you grow while delivering outstanding care to one of the most challenging yet rewarding patient populations.

The mission-driven environment is matched by a steadfast commitment to your well-being and professional development. We value your expertise, encourage collaboration, and provide the tools you need to advance—whether that means pursuing specialty certifications, taking on leadership roles, or extending your contract to broaden your impact. If you’re ready to apply your clinical excellence in a setting that respects your dedication and champions your growth, this is your moment. Join our Corrections Nursing team in Philadelphia and be part of a supportive community that recognizes your contribution and accelerates your career.
