Wayne State University here in Detroit has a graduate certificate in Forensic Investigation for RNs, police officers, or anyone interested in the program. There is currently a Forensic Investigations degree program in the planning stages, I will keep everyone informed who is interested. I am currently an RN student and I work for the local P.D. as a crime scene forensic technician, forensic nursing will allow me to combine the two careers I love. I plan on working as a nurse coroner/death investigator.

Xavier University in Cinncinati, OH is starting a graduate forensic nursing program this fall (01). I was taking distance learning thru them from Gonzaga University in WA. Should be a good program, and the other option they will offer is a Masters in Criminal Justice to go with it if interested.

Hey 4n6 tech,
I'm also interested in that career path, so how do you get a job as a Crime Scene Forensic Tech? I'm an RN who wants to do the same. At least that would be a foot in while I'm trying to get my MSN.

Jealousy! Can we switch jobs???? You are doing what I want to do! But I am stuck in an ER right now as a SANE.
I am near Cinci, so the Xavier program sounds tasty! Thanks 4n6!
