My bright idea....

I wonder if the director of a crisis pregnancy center in your area might have some advice.

maybe they could give me some info, i've even went as far as joining a criminal just message board also, this is something I REALLY REALLY want to do but there is no information available out there about these clinics ( if one even exist)

Well even if one doesn't exist, wouldn't it be like starting your own business? As long as you have the license to practice that kind of thing and you have the money or loan to start the clinic is there really anything else you need? Can't you start the business and then just market yourself so people will know there are clinics like that out there?

I would recommend that you check out the website for the International Association for Forensic Nurses (iafn.org). This is the organization that certifies SANE nurses.

According to IAFN, there are over 300 sites that employ SANE nurses in the US. Most of these are in Emergency Rooms, but about 1/4 of the sites are are in community clinics (rape crisis centers, womens' centers, etc). You might want to speak with some SANE nurses in your area and see what they would recommend. There are two types of SANE certification (adult/adolescent and pediatric) and they involve different training programs as well.

Good luck.

yeah but to open a clinic per say I think you have to have a certain business license as well. b/c it's a " Medical " clinic I could be wrong... Thanks for all the advice I appreciate it :)
