CurrentI serve as a nurse trainer in a state correctional facility. The facility in which I work Includes the Correctional psychiatric treatment unit (CPTU) as well as the only ACA accredited medical facility in the country. The Kentucky State Reformatory is a medium custody facility that has not only a psychiatric unit, in-house dialysis, Nursing Care Unit, but also multiple housing units for general population inmates. Working as a contractor in this environment is challenging because we have to deliver appropriate health care in a very challenging environment to not only ensure the best outcome for our patients, but also mitigate risk for our client, the Department of Corrections.
