Sign on & Retention Bonus

Tired of long travel nursing assignments that take you away from your family for weeks at a time? You're not alone—and you're not out of options.

At Southern Health Partners (SHP), we offer something different. We're looking for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Registered Nurses (RNs) to serve as Correctional Medical Coverage Nurses right in your home state of North Carolina.

A Career Close to Home, But Far From Ordinary

As a Regional Travel Nurse, you'll provide essential medical care in jails and detention centers near your area. This full-time position (36+ hours/week) offers you the unique opportunity to travel regionally—not across the country—and still be home several nights a week.

This isn't just another nursing job. It's a chance to make a real impact on a diverse patient population, all within a secure, supportive work environment.

Qualifications

What Makes This Role Different?

• Full-Time Stability without long-term relocations

• Mileage reimbursement from your home to work sites

• Meal per diem for overnight stays

• Cell phone reimbursement (if applicable)

• Be home with your family more often

Why Correctional Nursing?

Correctional healthcare is one of the most dynamic and rewarding nursing environments. You'll gain valuable experience and autonomy while performing a wide range of duties—from assessments and medication passes to sick call and patient education.

Your Benefits at SHP Include:

• Competitive pay with travel support

• Monthly CE hours – FREE through SHP

• Access to Medical, Dental & Vision plans

• Company-paid life insurance

• 401K

• Educational discount programs

• Professional liability insurance

• Referral bonuses

• Safe and secure facilities

Who We're Looking For:

Dedicated LPNs or RNs ready to bring high-quality care into correctional settings. Prior correctional experience isn't necessary—we provide the training you need to succeed.

Join a Team That Supports You—Professionally and Personally

If you're ready for a meaningful change in your nursing career—where your skills are valued, your time is respected, and your work truly matters—this is your opportunity.

Apply today to become a Correctional Medical Coverage Nurse with SHP.

All applicants are subject to drug screening and facility security clearance.
