CALL FOR CORRECTIONAL NURSES! Save the Date: September 4, 2025 Time: 6–8 PM EST | Location: Live Zoom Session
Are you an LPN, RN, or APRN working in correctional healthcare? We need your expertise!
The American Correctional Nurses Association (ACNA) and Center for Correctional Nursing (C4CN) are partnering with the University of Iowa College of Nursing to update the National Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC) list for correctional nursing—something that hasn’t been done in over 20 years!
We’re seeking nurses with front-line experience in:
• Prisons, jails & detention centers
• Women’s health & juvenile justice
• Mental health & addiction
• Education & leadership
• Geriatrics & chronic disease care
Your role:
• Conduct a brief pre-session review of the current 614 NIC interventions
• Join a 2-hour Zoom session with breakout discussions
• Help identify interventions specific to correctional nursing
• Suggest additions and flag outdated or irrelevant content
• Review and comment on a draft document
Why it matters:
• Your input will help refine the national scope of practice for correctional nursing. Let’s make sure our work is represented!
Sign up by August 22
• Send your email to ouracna@gmail.com or c4cnursing@gmail.com
• Materials & Zoom link will be sent to participants.
