Hello, Tequilajane and welcome to allnurses.com
Glad you joined the site.
Not a silly question at all.
Some Forensic Nurses work with entities dealing with catastrophes and devastation like with post-Katrina. These nurses may practice medico-legal death investigation. You might check with
American Red Cross and research the
National Response Framework Resource Center.
Some pursue the Death Investigation certification as well.
American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators
Many will delve into the specific "Evidence Collector" role.
Some law enforcement agencies look for Forensic Nurses to work with them.
Hope this helps and if you have other questions, please post here.
