					<description><![CDATA[You evaluated a patient an hour ago. The vital signs were within normal limits, your focused nursing assessment was reassuring, and the patient returned to housing. As you finish documenting the encounter, another nurse asks, &#8220;How&#8217;s the patient doing now?&#8221; It&#8217;s a simple question, but one that can be surprisingly difficult to answer. Unless you&#8217;ve ... <a href="https://correctionalnurse.net/correctional-nurse-professional-practice-update-why-reassessment-matters/" class="more-link" data-wpel-link="internal">Read More <span class="screen-reader-text">about  Correctional Nurse Professional Practice Update: Why Reassessment Matters</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The morning medication line is moving quickly. Officers are trying to keep the line flowing, and dozens of incarcerated persons are still waiting for their medications. As one patient reaches the medication window, he quietly says, &#8220;I&#8217;ve had a terrible headache since last night. Can I get some Tylenol?&#8221; You pause for a moment.

					<description><![CDATA[Hypertension is one of the most common chronic conditions encountered in correctional healthcare. Most nurses learn about blood pressure ranges, medications, and the risks associated with uncontrolled hypertension during nursing school. What took me longer to learn were some of the practical lessons that come from caring for patients with hypertension in a correctional setting. ... <a href="https://correctionalnurse.net/things-i-wish-someone-had-told-me-about-hypertension/" class="more-link" data-wpel-link="internal">Read More <span class="screen-reader-text">about  Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me About Hypertension</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Correctional nurses rarely think of themselves as leaders. We don’t have the titles, the corner offices, or the visible authority that people often associate with leadership. But every day behind the wall, correctional nurses lead in ways that profoundly shape patient care, safety, and the culture of the facility.

					<description><![CDATA[One of the most common phrases documented in correctional healthcare is also one of the least informative: &#8220;Provider notified.&#8221; As correctional nurses, we know provider notification is an essential part of patient care. When a patient&#8217;s condition changes, assessment findings are abnormal, or nursing interventions are not producing the expected response, the provider must often ... <a href="https://correctionalnurse.net/what-does-provider-notified-really-mean/" class="more-link" data-wpel-link="internal">Read More <span class="screen-reader-text">about  What Does &#8220;Provider Notified&#8221; Really Mean?</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Communication is a major component of correctional nursing practice. Thoughtful, intentional communication strengthens the therapeutic relationship and supports safe, effective patient care. At the same time, communication is complex. Even well-intentioned responses can sometimes lead to misunderstanding or mistrust if they are not aligned with the patient’s needs in the moment.

					<description><![CDATA[Communication is a central part of nursing practice. It includes not only the words we choose, but how those words are delivered in the moment. In correctional settings, nurses often have limited time for interaction, with brief exchanges occurring during medication line, sick call, chronic care clinic, and even while moving through the unit.
