NaphCare emphasizes a 'One Team, One Mission' culture and recruits new graduates into correctional healthcare with provided training. Nurses work within a controlled security environment where security is the top priority, performing assessments, medication administration, chronic illness management, and emergency response. Employee reviews (Indeed 3.2/5 from 630 reviews; Glassdoor 328 reviews) highlight a clear sense of purpose and varied daily duties, but flag trust in colleagues, management (3.0/5), and culture (3.1/5) as the weakest areas. Job security and advancement sit below average at 3.1/5.
