Forensic nurses aid in serving criminal justice and aiding victims in their times of need. They act as a bridge between the healthcare and legal sectors, lessening the divide between the two. These nurses provide care to victims of crime, conduct rape kits, administer pain medication, communicate with patients and family members, speak with law enforcement about medical evidence that may apply to their case, collect evidence from victims’ bodies, appear in court proceedings to present their findings, and assist coroners with deceased patients.
Skills Needed
FRNs should possess empathy, coping skills, be able to properly advocate for their cases and patients, communicate well, pay great attention to detail, and be reliable and trustworthy. To qualify as a forensic nurse, you’ll need an RN qualification, experience with traumatic injuries or women’s health, and then gain FNE (forensic nurse examiner) or SANE (sexual assault nurse examiner).
Forensic nurses truly make a difference in the lives of their patients, whether that’s through providing comfort and empathy or advocating for their cases. The information they provide can be of great help in serving justice and reducing crime rates.
