You work for someone who does not respect you or your training. Sad but true. It is time to vote with your feet and provide your intelligence and training to someone who will be more appreciative.
The loss is clearly theirs.

At the end of the day, some employers are good and others not so much. Sounds like you're currently working for the latter. They come in all industries.

It may not be easy to find an employer who will appreciate and utilize your hard-won knowledge and skills, but it will be easier than trying to convince your current employer to change tack.

Talk to your fellow forensic colleagues, and see what they know as far as employers who appreciate and use their talents. Then look for a job at those places.

You also could create a position for yourself, or start your own training firm.

Obviously, you know what you have to do. Get your RN degree.
