Forensic Nursing Training for Certifications
The challenging field of investigative science relies on registered nurses with forensic education to play an important role on the forensic team. The Forensic Nursing Certificate is designed to help students leverage their nursing experience and specialize their skills to address both the needs of victims and law enforcement agencies.
Forensic nurses may be called to a crime scene or accident to work with detectives, collect evidence, and take tissue and blood samples. Forensic nurses also treat survivors of assaults or violent accidents and victims of negligence, abuse, or violent crimes. Forensic nurses also may identify injuries and/or death and their causes, preserve and document the chain of custody, and refer victims for appropriate follow-up care.
The forensic nursing courses in the certificate program address all of these scenarios and more. The Forensic Nursing Certificate program is designed to provide students with the tools and education necessary to begin or advance their forensic nursing career.*
