Registered nurses in this field must demonstrate the essence of nursing in practice settings and work environments for which health care is not a primary mission, delivering adequate and humane levels of health care in an unbiased and nonjudgmental manner.

An RN in any corrections setting, then, must be qualified across an enormous range of healthcare work. The corrections nurse must be prepared to address patient needs including those associated with women's health, the full arc of the age continuum (from pediatric through geriatric), and end-of-life care. Further, RNs in such settings must understand and apply the concepts of primary care services that employ the skill sets of ambulatory care, community.health, emergency, occupational health, public health, and school nursing.

This book articulates the essentials of this nursing specialty, its activities and accountabilities at all practice levels and settings.
