Job Description

Embark on a purposeful career as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Corrections, delivering patient-centered care within Ohio’s Cleveland facilities. This unique specialty places you at the intersection of compassionate nursing and the secure, structured environment of correctional health services. You’ll assess, treat, and advocate for individuals under custody, translating clinical expertise into meaningful outcomes every day. Starting December 22, 2025, this contract runs in weeks, inviting you to demonstrate skill, resilience, and teamwork in a setting where every interaction matters. You’ll earn a competitive weekly pay rate, with opportunities to extend based on performance and facility needs, while knowing you have a path to progressive professional development and broader exposure to diverse clinical scenarios.

Cleveland blends rich urban culture with scenic escapes, offering a compelling backdrop for your nursing career. In addition to a thriving arts scene, waterfront views along Lake Erie, vibrant neighborhoods, and a thriving culinary landscape, you’ll be part of a community that values history, innovation, and resilience. The Ohio landscape is dotted with natural beauty—from the sandstone trails of Hocking Hills to the tranquil expanses of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. For healthcare professionals seeking variety, the opportunity exists to broaden your experience across select facilities nationwide, providing exposure to different patient populations, regulatory environments, and care models. Cleveland’s proximity to parks, museums, sports, and outdoor recreation creates a balanced lifestyle that supports your well-being while you advance your clinical practice. Weekly pay ranges from $1,457 to $1,529, with comprehensive support designed to help you thrive on a travel assignment and maximize your professional impact. While this description centers on Cleveland, the role opens doors to experiences in other U.S. locations as needed, enabling you to build a robust, portable skill set while contributing to safer, more compassionate care in varied settings.

Role specifics and benefits are crafted to empower you as you deliver essential nursing care in a corrections context. Your primary responsibilities include evaluating patient conditions, administering medications, monitoring vital signs, and maintaining precise documentation with an emphasis on accuracy, privacy, and security. You’ll collaborate closely with corrections staff, physicians, and ancillary teams to ensure timely interventions, continuity of care, and adherence to facility protocols. You’ll participate in care planning, wound care, IV therapy as appropriate to your licensure scope, and triage scenarios that demand calm decision-making under pressure. This role emphasizes professional growth—take advantage of on-the-job mentorship, targeted trainings, and opportunities to advance within the correctional health system. We support you with competitive benefits, including a sign-on bonus where applicable, housing assistance to ease relocation, and the possibility of contract extensions based on facility needs and your performance. The nature of travel and assignments is supported by 24 / 7 assistance from our dedicated team, ensuring you’re never navigating complex shifts or unfamiliar clinics alone. The position offers a structured pathway to broaden your expertise, from clinical competencies to leadership and case management skills, setting you up for future advancement in acute, chronic, or forensic care tracks.

Our company values empower you to rise, not only survive. We are committed to your career advancement and to cultivating a work environment that respects, supports, and uplifts every member of the care team. You’ll benefit from robust orientation, continuous education opportunities, access to clinical specialists for consults, and a culture that prioritizes safety, teamwork, and professional integrity. The organization believes in pairing your clinical talents with real opportunities for growth—whether that means sharpening bedside skills, expanding your scope with advanced practice pathways, or pursuing leadership roles that influence policy and practice within correctional health services. Expect transparent communication, proactive support, and a collaborative atmosphere where your contributions are recognized and valued.

If you’re ready to apply your nursing expertise where it makes a daily difference, this is your invitation to join a company that prioritizes your development and well-being while you deliver high-quality care in corrections. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to grow your professional trajectory, work alongside dedicated teammates, and experience Ohio’s dynamic landscape from Cleveland outward.
