Job Details

ChristianaCare’s Juvenile Corrections at Ferris School is seeking an experienced Registered Nurse II to join our dedicated medical team in Wilmington, Delaware.

In this full-time role, working 72 hours per biweekly pay period, you’ll provide meaningful, hands-on nursing care to adolescents in a structured and supportive environment. As the Registered Nurse II, you’ll serve as the on-site clinical leader, delivering direct patient care, responding confidently to urgent and emergent situations, and helping maintain a safe, therapeutic environment. You’ll also play an important role in fostering a culture built on accountability, compassion, teamwork, and clinical excellence.

Ferris School is a secure, ACA-accredited treatment facility serving up to 72 court-committed males between the ages of 13 and 18. Youth typically remain at Ferris for approximately six months, followed by a six-week transition program designed to support successful reintegration into the community. The youth served are identified as serious and/or chronic repeat offenders who may pose a risk to themselves or others and require intensive, structured rehabilitative services. Ferris School provides an integrated approach to rehabilitation that combines education, individualized programming, behavioral treatment, and therapeutic clinical services. Programming is tailored to each youth’s specific needs, with staff intentionally using daily interactions as opportunities to develop positive, pro-social behaviors and life skills. Treatment teams also engage families throughout the youth’s stay to support successful family reunification. Healthcare services are provided within a secure juvenile justice environment comparable to an inpatient or residential treatment setting. The clinical team supports adolescents with a broad range of acute and chronic medical, behavioral health, mental health, social, and preventive care needs. Services include health assessments, screenings, wellness education, routine health maintenance, medication management, and ongoing care coordination.

As a Registered Nurse II, you will provide high-quality, patient-centered care to adolescents with complex medical, behavioral, and emotional needs in a structured and secure environment. You will use strong clinical judgment, professionalism, empathy, and sound decision-making to manage challenging behaviors and respond effectively to urgent or emergency situations. This role requires strict adherence to patient safety, security, infection prevention, and medication-handling protocols. You will also play a vital role in maintaining a safe, therapeutic environment while supporting the health, development, and successful transition of youth back to their families and communities.

What Makes This Role Unique

  • Flexible self-scheduling within a close-knit, supportive nursing team
  • Competitive shift differentials that recognize your commitment and flexibility
  • 24/7 leadership and provider support when you need it
  • Meaningful, mission-driven work where you can make a lasting difference
  • Professional growth opportunities through the ChristianaCare Clinical Ladder
  • A collaborative environment where your voice, clinical expertise, and ideas are valued

Work Schedule:

  • Full-Time Flex: 72 hours per biweekly pay period, working 12-hour shifts from 3pm to 3am.
  • Weekends and holidays are shared on a rotating basis among the team.

In addition to the base rate of pay, this position offers competitive shift differentials based on the hours and days worked.

Duties / Responsibilities:

As a Registered Nurse II, you will deliver comprehensive, patient-centered care to pediatric, adolescent, and adult populations while addressing a wide range of clinical needs. You will conduct assessments, triage acute and chronic conditions, develop and evaluate individualized care plans, administer medications, perform clinical testing and procedures, assist providers, and respond effectively to urgent and emergent situations.

You will collaborate with patients, families, providers, and interdisciplinary teams to promote coordinated care, clear communication, and positive outcomes. The role also includes providing patient education and wellness counseling, supporting staff development and orientation, participating in quality improvement initiatives and chart audits, and maintaining accurate clinical documentation and required state systems.

Success in this role requires strong clinical judgment, attention to detail, and a commitment to maintaining high standards of patient safety, infection prevention, security, and regulatory compliance while supporting efficient clinical operations.

Education & Certification Requirements:

  • Registered Nurse license or eligible for licensure in the state Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, or New Jersey.
  • BSN preferred; ADN considered with agreement of completion of BSN in 3 years.
  • Two years’ experience as a Registered Nurse in correctional, pediatric/adolescent, or psychiatric experience preferred.
  • BLS certification required.
  • Delaware's Division of Youth Rehabilitative Services (DYRS) background check with fingerprinting clearance.

Ready to Make an Impact?

Registered Nurses II are valued as essential members of a collaborative healthcare team dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care. Registered Nurses have opportunities to practice at the top of their license in a supportive environment that emphasizes professional growth, innovation, and evidence-based practice. ChristianaCare offers a rewarding environment where you can make a meaningful impact on patients, families, and the community while continuing to grow professionally.

Please include an updated resume with application.
