Hi 4n6! Thanks for your reply. I am really hoping I get accepted somewhere for Forensics. This may sound corny, but I really like the author Patrician Cornwell, and ever since I started reading her books, I wished that there was an area of nursing that had to do with solving crimes. I discovered Forensics last year, and thought I would pursue it. I am a little scared, since it is so new, if I will be able to find a job. How much longer do you have in school? I am really burnt out with Critical Care at this point, and I am pretty sure Forensics is an area of interest to me. Do you know any Forensic nurses working right now? Take care, and Happy studying and Nursing! CARP

I love these ghost stories, keep them coming...Here is mine: I was working in a Pediatric group home in Tucson, AZ, as the night RN. I had a CNA working with me, and we usually had between 2-5 kids at the house. When I was hired, they told me about some strange happenings at the very back room down the hall, where a little boy named Bobby had lived for 3 years, and also died in the room. I did'nt really believe it, but one night, the CNA and I heard music coming from one of the baby monitors. I went down the hall, and everyone was asleep, but the music was coming from the mobile above the crib in Bobby's old room. No child was in there at the time. I just turned the music off, and went back to the main room. This happened on and off all night, as well as the hall light being turned on and off. It was very strange, and a little scary at first, but the CNA and I just ended up talking to Bobby. He would come back and do the same things every once in a while. After this experience, I don't really have a fear of the supernatural like some people do. I enjoyed everyone's stories, and Happy Nursing!

Hi everyone! I am new here, so I hope I am doing this right. I too, have been very interested in Forensic Nursing, in fact, I have applications out to Fitchburg State College, and Beth-EL College of nursing in Co. Springs. Will a Masters Degree help your chances of finding a job? Also, does anyone know if the FBI needs nurses? Would having a Masters in Forensics help with applying to the FBI? I am currently a critical care nurse, looking for a change. Thanks for listening, and I hope to hear back from everyone! Take care.
