Abstract
This paper will explore the role development of the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) in the field of corrections. The PMHNP is an advanced nurse practitioner with prescriptive authority in every state with the exception of Georgia, who delivers cost effective primary mental health services as a valuable member of the mental health partnership. For optimal utilization of role development Brown's Framework (Brown, 1998) for Advanced Practice Nursing will be implemented to understand the comprehensive practices of the PMHNP in the field of corrections. The PMHNP is new to the field of corrections and competencies and aspects of the role development will be discussed, as well as issues that are specific to working in the field of corrections. Outcome criteria and recommendations for further research to evaluate future recommendations for studying the impact of the PMHNP in corrections will be examined.
