How Do I Become a Forensic Nurse/Role of the Forensic Nurse

Hello, 'M3. and welcome to allnurses.com and the Forensic forum

Glad to have you. We look forward to seeing more of your posts.

Good luck with your nursing career.

You are very welcome. When you have questions, just start a thread and ask away.

Again, great to have you.

Hello, toastymoth and welcome to allnurses.com

Excellent career choice. When you have other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Good luck.

I think all these shows are for entertainment only. Some have great insight into the world of forensics, but must be taken with a grain of salt, if you will.

CSI, Bones, Criminal Minds, Wire in the Blood (all are some of my fav TV programs, BTW).....all are interesting and cleverly written, but the real world is the best teacher. The ED is a perfect place to work to gain information about how much is done regarding forensics and I suggest this for anyone to work and get experience. Shadow an ME/coroner in your area. Seek out formal education as forensic nurse and/or SANE/SART, etc. Lots of ways to go.
