Forensic Nursing Jobs in USA

[cgad13]

Hi,

I am really interested in practicing as a forensic nurse in the USA and would like to know what opportunities there are for foreign nurses in this specialist area. I have always wanted to pursue this career path but there are no opportunities in my home country. I have a degree in forensic investigation (i.e. crime scene investigation) and will be completing my nursing degree (for RN) next year. I'm wondering if I may benefit from undertaking a Forensic Nursing Certificate or similar to boost my employment chances?

By the way it maybe useful to mention that I'm studying in Australia at the moment (but I'm not Australian). So any info on navigating the USA employment channels would be great. Thanks:)
