For any of you Correctional nurses working in a prison, do any of your facilities use travelers? If so can you tell me which facilities and who are the travel agencies being used? Are your nurses happy with their companies? Sure would appreciate any info. Been Correctional nurse for 18 years (nurse for 27).Prison only. Jail (yuck)....

I work for a company who contracts out to correctional facilities to provide medical to the inmates. I am one of their traveling nurses. I love the company I work for. Right now they have facilities in 8 states. It's sometimes like a working vacation. I have been to places I never would have had the opportunity to visit if it weren't for my job!!!

That's just what I'd like to do. I'm trying to collect a list of agencies that travel corrections. Although I'd love to make it to NY(family reasons) 1st, I'd like to travel several other places too just for fun.I work for a temp agency now and they do have a travel division but currently I travel 170 miles a day round trip to and from work....It's killin me.... I'm giving the agency I work for a chance to see if they can find me a travel contract in NY but also am looking around to see who else could fill my requests. If you don't mind could you send me an email or PM of who you work for? I'd be happy to use your name so you could get the referal.........I've never traveled before, but I'm ready..............................................Sashi

Specializes in ER, ICU, Corrections.

Me also mary...I am getting close to retirement and would like to be able to have something to work when I want to work.....a couple of months at a time after I finish working full time. I don't want to work to much but a little bit will be nice. I don't want to stay at the facility that I have been working in for the last 15+ years so I would like a traveling company that works with corrections that would make me happy. Talk to you soon. psychonurse LOL

I understand the no advertising stuff, but there are threads all over this board about agencies and who does what and who is good or not, and this is related to corrections.

So why the no advertising handslap?

why don't you call a few correctional facilities and ask them what agencies they use? that ought to get you started. traveling in corrections is fairly limited.
