Popis:	Prison inmates are a growing population with complex medical/social needs and nursing care has been cited as important in correctional settings. The purpose of this study was to come to understand prison nurses’ experiences of caregiving. Greater understanding of nursing experiences within the correctional system might encourage others to choose this area of practice, as well as extend nurse caring literature. Eleven nurses employed in a maximum-security prison were interviewed about the scope of their nursing practice and their caring experiences. Data were hermeneutically analyzed against a background of Heideggerian philosophy. Four relational themes, The Scope of Prison Nursing Practice, Prison as Home, Prisoners as Patients, and The Context for Caring supported one constitutive pattern, The Primacy of Caring, and revealed practices that have implications for human caring theory.
