I am a 1st semester nursing student who is very interested in forensic nursing. Is this something that I can get certified with straight out of graduating with an MSN-RN or do I have to go to a specific program that offers an MSN in forensic nursing?

Wow, that is some great advice smilingblueyes! I'm still a student and it just seems like I will never be aggressive due to my lack of confidence in this field. Patients respond well to confident nurses who let them know the rules and what needs to be done for the day. I guess it is something that will take time for me to learn.

WOW! chapookie, thank you for sharing and volunteering in those horrible conditions. Hopefully, at least one person appreciated your hard work, which would make volunteering worth it. Stay strong and God bless.

Hi, I'm a first semester nursing student and I am scared out of my mind! Today in clinical, I had a mean patient that wanted nothing to do with me since I am a student. For class, we have to do a complete physical assessment and diagnosis for this patient and I could not even lay one finger on this patient. Does anyone recommend any good strategies that can allow a student to actually try to get within 5 feet of a patient?
