I'd swear posted this question before but I came back to look and it's not here so.....Here goes......I've been working corrections for over 15 years( agency) and due to the privatization of the prisons in this area I'm short work. I'd love to take a travel position in corrections but have been unable to find a travel company that travels corrections......Does any one out there know of or work for a travel company that uses correctional nurses? Sashi48@aol.com...Thanks

Well, you did post this question on the travel nursing AND agency nursing forums, but

I, too, remember someone else dealt with it and received a number of responses (but I can't find it either). So I don't think we are BOTH hallucinating the same thing.

It has been my experience that due to the varying "security" requirements of different jails and prisons, there is very little travel nursing done in this field.

However, someone else reported working as a traveling corrections nurse and mentioned the name of an agency, I believe. If I run into it, I'll pass it along.

Meanwhile, you might want to PM graybar hilton. It may be that if you work for one of the large private companies, like Wackenhut, you could travel around to their various facilities, I don't know, but he might.

A coworker of mine recently went to the NCCHC conference in Nashville. She brought back a flyer from a company called MHM Solutions, Inc. We have not done business with them, so I cannot tell you much more.

The flyer says they provide "Extended Assignment Staffing" for correctional facilities. Here is the contact info if you are interested:

I work for a company that has nearly all the county jails in Fla, or so I hear. I am in IL and work for the prison system. I am a traveling nurse for them. I have then Central Region and where ever there is a staffing shortage I go. I do everything from staff nurse to D.O.N. I will check back in here for your answer and then we will exchange email addresses or something. I bet you will recognize the name when you hear it.
