hi CARP, I am working on a MSN with a concentration in Forensics at Xavier University in Cincinnati, OH. At this time there is not a certification for Forensics. This is one of the goals of the International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN) the website (if you are not aware) is http://www.forensicnurse.org Since this is a very new field to nursing we are pretty much creating our own jobs!! as far as the FBI goes i would say the same thing. I think that alot of this would depend on what part of forensics you were interested in. Profiling, Forensic Psychiatry/Counseling, or even criminology. Xavier is also working on a dual masters with Criminology... so really the sky is the limit...just know what you want and the go for it!!! OUR motto: Alive or dead we'll be there!!

I post a challenge to all nurses that are unhappy with the nursing situation as it is. Quit working at the hospital you currently work at. Immediately sign on with an agency where you can work when you want, get paid excellent wages, and be happy...works for all of us...what would the hospitals and docs do then?

I love my job!!! I work in a 44 bed very busy NICU. I also deal with all the typical bad aspects of our profession, but I think the point is that every time i know I have made a difference it is worth all the bad aspects. As another poster said, they are everywhere in our profession. I have been a nurse for 17 yrs, worked many different areas and know that the best places are where you work with a good group of nurses, but thats not always the case. As long as I know that I have made a difference that is satisfying to me, and I can always hope for a class action attitude adjustment;)!!!!
