Nurse - Day Shift

About the role

Correctional Medical Management is looking for a Registered Nurse to join their day shift team at the Minnehaha County Jail. You will deliver hands-on clinical care — from chronic disease management to emergency response — to an underserved population that rarely receives quality healthcare elsewhere. You will work alongside a committed nursing team and correctional officers in a structured, predictable environment that lets you grow professionally without the chaos of a traditional ER or hospital floor.

This is not a desk job. You will use your full skill set every day, make independent clinical decisions, and leave each shift knowing you made a real difference.
