I live near Peoria, Illinois and work in the ER. We have started a SANE program here. The key was our nurse manager - whether the funding was there or not. Contact him/her and go from there. The trainer for us was from Phoenix, AZ I believe.
I'm not a SANE, but do rape kits on adults and peds when one isn't available.

Thank you so much for letting me know. I will check that out at a local ER hospital. I did write the Texas Board of Nurses and they didn't have any information to give me.
Thanks again.

I live in San Antonio, TX and I am interested in becoming a Sexual Abuse Nurse Examiner. Does anyone know the process or where I can go to become one? I plan on calling some schools come Monday, but until then.....
Thanks
