Hello everyone. I'm halfway through my associate degree nursing program, and have been thinking a bit about my long-term goals in nursing. I want to start a Bachelor program soon after I graduate, and would also like to earn a Master's degree eventually. I have been thinking about getting a couple of years of experience on a med-surg unit and then going into correctional nursing. But I'm wondering if there is any such thing as a Master's degree specifically for correctional nursing, like a correctional nurse specialist? Does anyone know a program where such a degree is offered as I couldn't find any - preferrably online, and if so, do correctional facilities actually look for such employees? Also, if anyone can point me towards a website that has more information like job descriptions or salary for a correctional nurse with a Master's degree, I will appreciate all such information. I find it a bit hard to find much specific information on this. Thank you to anyone who cares to read this and to share some info!
