Thank you so much for the post AND the encouragement! Whenever I tell people ultimately I want to get my Masters in Forensic Nursing I always get "Oh? What do they do?" Well I would love to have a hospital based position with my current employer...that will require ALOT of research data collection and presenting to upper administration showing the advantages of being one of the only hospitals in the area with a Forensic Nurse on staff...as well as convincing local Law enforcement the HUGE advantage of having a NURSE on their team who can be HUGE asset for them. Yes, I have my work cut out for me! A girl can dream, right! Your post gives me hope! It also tells me there is hope and I will be talking with my county coroner as well as the adjacent county (whose coroner is a Forensic Nurse)! THANK YOU FOR THE FANTASTIC POST AND ENCOURAGEMENT!

Thank you for the info on Forensic Nursing. I have been interested since I started Nursing school in 2009. I am currently working on my BSN and plan on continuing on to my Masters in Forensic Nursing. I am in Northwest Indiana about an 45 minutes southeast of Chicago. I haven't done much research but I would LOVE to work as a Forensic nurse as part of police/sheriff department for their crime lab. Possibly even on a federal level. Again thanks for the info!
