WELCOME
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 CARE GUIDE this quarter is a Patient Education Curriculum for the Diabetic Patient in a Correctional Setting. This program is based upon the National Diabetes Information Program of the National Institute of Health. As always, a Patient Education Pamphlet is included on our site.
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 past Care Guide on the H1N1 and Seasonal Flu is available in our CARE GUIDE ARCHIVES. We will continue to add our past Care Guides to the Archives.
We are diligently working toward CE Provider accreditation so that we can offer the opportunity to earn Continuing Education credits here at Nursing Behind the Wall!
We are also working on a nursing curriculum designed specifically for Correctional Nurses and hope to have more information on that soon.
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 a link that will help to keep Nursing Behind the Wall up and running. If you appreciate what we are doing, please consider donating.
In addition, we are happy to consider any editorials or information that you may want to submit for publication.
Your feedback is welcomed and we will do all we can to make this a site you tell others about and return to time and time again.
