sexual assault nursing

Sexual assualt nursing is what I want to do. Has anyone ever done this type of nursing? I realize it will be a difficult job. It is an on-call position and unfortunately there must be a victim before you are called in. A difficult job for many reasons. Does anyone know if one must be a BSN or will ADN suffice? What is the pay? I would do it for free but am interested in hearing from nurses doing this type of work.

Re: sexual assault nursing

Do a search for Forensic Nursing and many of your questions will be answered. We don't have many Forensic RN's in the area where I live, but I've been interested in forensic nursing since I had school clinicals where I was able to work next to one. I gathered a lot of information from this board and from questioning the one I had clinicals with. Good luck!

This is funny. I just received a flyer in the mail on Saturday from our state's attorney's office. In IL they are the ones that sponsor SANE training - a 40 hour class plus internship. I used to work in a level one ER and did forensic exams (before SANE training was available). Good luck. If you live in IL, PM me and I'll give you the details.
