Nursing is centered on caring for and respecting human beings,
including those who are detained or incarcerated and those who are
under legal supervision in the community. Correctional registered
nurses provide evidence-based nursing care, as well as advocacy,
health education, and prevention this diverse and often underserved
practice population. Correctional nurses face complex demographics
and unique health, ethical, legal, and social challenges. In 2018,
the American Nurses Association (ANA) convened a volunteer work
group of correctional nurses to review and revise the 2013
Correctional Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, Second
Edition. This new edition’s scope of practice addresses what is
expected of all correctional nurses, specifying the who, what,
where, when, why, and how of their practice. The detailed
discussion of that scope of practice provides the context needed to
understand and use the standards, presenting the underlying
assumptions, characteristics, environments and settings, education
and training requirements, key issues and trends, and ethical and
conceptual bases of the specialty. The 16 standards themselves are
those by which all correctional nurses are held accountable for
their practice. Each standard is measurable by a set of specific
competencies that serve as evidence of minimal compliance with that
standard. In addition to correctional nursing practitioners,
educators, and students, the Correctional Nursing: Scope and
Standards of Practice, 3rd Edition, will also be useful for other
nursing professionals and allied healthcare providers, researchers,
and scholars. In addition, it will be of interest to others
involved in the correctional industry, including employers,
insurers, lawyers, regulators, policy makers, and stakeholders.
