About the Role – Your Responsibilities

The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) is in search of Registered Nurses who are dedicated to providing care for marginalized and underserved populations within correctional facilities.

Your primary duties will include delivering health care services to individuals residing in ODOC facilities. Key responsibilities encompass:

  • Direct Patient Care: Deliver nursing care that includes patient assessment, nursing diagnosis, care planning, medication administration, laboratory and medical procedures, and treatment delivery in accordance with ODOC policies, procedures, protocols, provider orders, and evidence-based care standards.
  • Care Coordination: Organize patient health care by scheduling on-site services and community-based resources to ensure optimal health outcomes.
  • Effective Communication: Provide thorough patient education and serve as a resource for non-medical personnel regarding health care delivery in a correctional context. Advocate for patient needs to ensure timely care and address any challenges posed by the correctional environment.
  • Documentation: Maintain accurate, clear, and complete records of patient care. Document all medical requests, objective data collected during care, treatments administered, evaluations of treatment effectiveness, and patient education provided.
  • Administrative Duties: Coordinate nursing activities with services from other departments. Assume responsibility for unit operations in the absence of management. Monitor and evaluate medical supplies to ensure adequate availability and secure storage, including maintaining accurate counts of narcotics and other medical supplies.

This position is represented by the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). It may qualify for Police & Fire (P&F) benefits through the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), as defined by law.

Benefits Offered:
