Translating the Essentials for Correctional Nursing Practice and Professional Development
Lori E Roscoe, Sue Smith, Deborah Shelton
Abstract
This article reports the results of aligning the new Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education (AACN, 2021) with the continuing education needs of nurses who work in justice settings and with justice-involved populations. Much progress in considering the development of the "future" nurse is generated by and intended for academic institutions. Although the readiness of health care agencies (employers) is being discussed, continued professional development of currently employed nurses to help them transition smoothly to work with this "future" nurse has received less attention. To that end, during its latest review, the Nurse Advisory Council to the National Commission on Correctional Health Care aligned its educational plan for correctional nurses with the Essentials document.
