					<description><![CDATA[Over the past thirty years, I have had the privilege of working alongside hundreds of correctional nurses. They have practiced in county jails, state prisons, federal facilities, juvenile centers, and detention facilities across the country. They have been LPN/LVNs, RNs, APRNs, new graduates, seasoned clinicians, staff nurses, managers, educators, and leaders. Although their backgrounds and ... <a href="https://correctionalnurse.net/correctional-nurse-reflection-the-correctional-nurses-i-have-admired-most/" class="more-link">Read More <span class="screen-reader-text">about  Correctional Nurse Reflection &#8211; The Correctional Nurses I Have Admired Most</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One of the first lessons new correctional nurses learn is that they do not practice alone. Unlike many other healthcare settings, correctional nurses work side-by-side with correctional officers every day. Each profession has different responsibilities, different training, and different priorities, yet both share responsibility for the safety and well-being of the incarcerated population.

					<description><![CDATA[Asthma is one of those conditions that can seem routine in correctional healthcare. Most nurses encounter patients with asthma regularly, and many incarcerated persons have managed the condition for years before arriving at the facility. Because it is so common, it can be easy to become comfortable with it.

					<description><![CDATA[When I first began working in correctional healthcare more than thirty years ago, I thought I was coming to care for a unique patient population. I quickly discovered that I was also entering a profession unlike any other. Correctional nursing has challenged me, humbled me, frustrated me, and inspired me.

					<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.

					<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">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.
