Correctional nurses perform complex, essential work that often extends beyond traditional nursing roles. This session explores how the nursing interventions classification (NIC) and nurse outcome classification (NOC) frameworks help define, document, and measure nursing practice in correctional settings. Learn how standardized nursing language strengthens clinical reasoning, communication, documentation, competency evaluation, and continuity of care across systems and disciplines.
