Forensic Nursing?

Published

Specializes in none at the moment.

Hi, my name is lyndsay. I am an lpn going into my Rn program here in the fall. I'm still deciding on an area of nursing specialty that i may want to pursue. My question that I am sort of wondering about is forensic nursing? is there even such a thing ? and even more so is there a nursing position that can help with performing autopsies? if so what sort of certification if any would i need ? or more broadly how would i go about getting in to that particular field of nursing?

Thanks so much for all your help

I did just recently join to allnurses.com and i know there was a tutorial video to watch on how to utilize this website. unfortunately I have dial -up...I live in lets just say the boonies and it hasent been built up yet to receive high speed internet. so i wasnt able to watch it. But im off on a tangent, thanks again for everything and yes i will be looking into this!!

good luck to you both
