Hello, I'm new to this site (forgive me if this is long) I am interested in becoming a forensic nurse (primarily death investigation and crime scene). I actually just got accepted into Kaplan University today and found out that I have to put down a payment to register by Wedensday. I live in South Florida, where although a lot of crime happens, when I called the Miami Dade medical examiner's office, they said that due to their budget, they are not hiring any forensic nurses right now. As I was getting off the phone, she mentioned something about Kaplan not being the best choice for me. I'm not too sure why she said this. Any clues as to why? Mainly, I don't want to put down the money for this program, take the course, and not be able to use my skills. If anybody is in the Fl area and knows where I will be able to use this certificate, that would be greatly appreciated. I will be calling both Dade County and Broward County's Medical examiner's office again tomorrow.
