We had some great essays about correctional nursing submitted during our recent Book Give Away Program! The most inspiring essays were contributed by the following correctional nurses:

• Elissa Brody, RN, BSN, NCCIW – North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women
• Benjamin S Kanten, MBA, MSN, RN, CCHP-RN, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Health Service Corp C, Taylor, Texas
• Patricia M. Rolling, RN, James T. Vaughn Correctional Center, Delaware
• Teresa Waits, RN, Kansas Department of Corrections

These nurses will be receiving an autographed copys of the Essentials of Correctional Nursing book. In addition, their essays will be featured in upcoming posts on this blog.

Thanks to all who entered an essay….and thanks to all correctional nurses for your hard work providing quality healthcare in the criminal justice system! You make a difference everyday and you are essential!
