More about PrimeCare Medical, Inc.
The work is concrete: sick call, med pass, intake screenings, immunizations, ECGs, vitals, chronic care, and emergencies under Medical Director protocols—nurses compare it to ER or clinic pace inside a detention setting. Shifts are posted in clear blocks—evenings 2:00–10:30 pm with rotating weekends, nights 6p–6:30a, split shifts with every-other-weekend, and PRN patterns that still ask for weekday availability. St. Mary's RN posts note a two-week orientation with on-the-job training and shadowing. Full-time RN ads promote tuition reimbursement, generous PTO, and increased pay rates. PrimeCare is a private correctional healthcare company headquartered in Harrisburg, PA, founded in the mid-1980s, staffing jails, prisons, and juvenile centers across the Northeast. Public nurse reviews run low, and the company issued layoff notices after losing at least one county prison contract in 2025, so contract stability is part of what you weigh.
