HI just wondering about forensic nursing jobs. I'm very interested in this, probably more in a role of reviewing the evidence, and cases. Not so much visiting the scene of the crime, where there a dead bodies, but after the body is removed. I have been looking online for forensic nursing jobs, and haven't seen any in MAssachusetts. I really want to pursue this, but If there are not many jobs out there, then...... I dodn't think I will. I've been a nurse for a year of a pedi surgical floor, and will be working in the OR for the next couple years, but I would like to start some classes soon.

Any info is helpful. Not sure if I'm just not searching in the right palces.


Thanks

Hello, ladybug06 and welcome to allnurses.com

Many forensic nurses work with law enforcement agencies, hospitals (especially the ED), prosecuting attorney's. You need to search those areas as well.

Some forensic nurses go to the sexual assault part of the career and certify as SANE. I see you have been looking in the Legal Nursing forum and invite you to check out the stickies regarding many other opportunities in this field.
