Correctional Nurse Resume
The job of a correctional nurse is very risky as he or she has to nurse prisoners. These prisoners could be incarcerated in a jail, juvenile detention center, or a halfway house. While working for inmates, nurses have to leave behind the feelings of caring a prisoner, and do their duties as per nursing ethics. The duties will be similar to other nurses like administering medications, providing first aid, monitoring health, and handling emergency situations.
If you have good assessment and nursing skills with an RN degree and clinical experience, edit this sample resume to fit in your job skills and abilities.
