I worked briefly in an all male correctional facility on the night shift . Duties was mostly paper work. Reading the inmates request for sick call for the next day and pulling his medical record. The R.N. would be stationed with the C.O. in the infirmary. Naturally you would give scheduled meds to the inmates in the infirmary. The R.N. was also responsible for assessing any new incoming inmate and the paper work that involves. Assess inmate brought to the infirmary or officer that came to the infirmary with complains of illness. Sending out inmate to local hospital in emergency situation and making the physician aware. There is usually 1 R.N. and 1 L.P.N. working the night shift. In the facility that I worked in the LPN was always assigned to work in the medication room.
