Correctional Nurse Manifesto: Seven Affirmations to Guide Your Practice
An online continuing education course for nurses, medical health professionals, and other interested individuals working in a correctional setting.
Nurses in the criminal justice system work in an environment of conflicting priorities and shrinking resources. The patient population is vulnerable and marginalized but also often manipulative and deceitful. It is easy to become discouraged and disconnected from the professional nursing values that originally provided meaning to nursing practice. A Correctional Nurse Manifesto of seven key affirmations can provide a foundation for ethical professional nursing practice in correctional settings.
