Nursing and the provision of healthcare in jails and prisons is often a combination of ingenuity, flexibility, persistence and skill. This website is for all who work in correctional healthcare. You are to be applauded for your hard work and dedication to a population that isn’t always appreciative of your efforts! We have wanted to develop this site where correctional healthcare professionals could go for resources specific to their practice and to communicate with others who understand the special nature of Nursing behind the Wall for a long time. We are now able to do this as part of our work at Correctional HealthCare Consultants. Please take a moment and look at our pages.
For those of you who have been here before, you will notice that we have a new website. Although we are still in the process of converting the archived Care Guides to the new format, we wanted the site to be up as soon as possible. The archived Care Guides are coming back soon, along with some very exciting opportunities to earn Continuing Education credits!
The CARE GUIDE this quarter is about the Flu - H1N1 and Seasonal - and how its management should differ for the Correctional population. The information is directly from the CDC Corrections website. As always, a Patient Education Pamphlet is included on our site.
Our past Care Guides - MRSA, Hypertension, and Diabetes Education will be available in our CARE GUIDE ARCHIVES. All information is based upon current best practices in the literature. We hope to add additional educational pages in the future, perhaps even interactive presentations.
Our RESOURCES page is just the beginning...more sites will be added as you suggest them. We have also added a link to a new service - Correctional Nursing Products where you can find products that can be customized for you, your staff, and your facility. Please take a moment, look at them, and give us some feedback!
Finally, the SUPPORTERS page has sponsored links that will help to keep Nursing Behind the Wall up and running. We appreciate your visiting them through this site.
In addition, we are happy to consider any editorials or information that you may want to submit for publication.
