Travel Co Dealing with Corrections?

LoriRN911 · Jun 22, 2005

I am looking for a travel company which has nurses who specialize in correctional healthcare.
Anyone have any idea which companies do this? I am sure any of them would try, but I want a good one.
Any help is appreciated!

I'm pretty sure Supplemental does.

I don't know how "specialized" they are, but I have a friend working as a travel nurse right now. She said she did have to take a proficiency test specific to Corrections Nursing. I guess if they have an area-specific test for Corrections, they must staff prisons fairly often, though.

I am also looking for a company in San Diego that staff Corrections. I They seem to be pretty well-staffed by the State and local governments though.

Have you done correctional nsg before? I worked a short time in county system, I thought security was lax. I don't know if you are going to CA, but check it out , the state prison system healthcare has been put into receivership due to gross negligence in delivering care.
