What to do...

I am going for my rn at a diploma school starting August. I am just thinking ahead, obviously. I have recently been doing research to be a forensics nurse and I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about this.

Do I have to get my bachelors first before I take the course to be a forensics/sane nurse? Or is it suggested?

I have been debating on my bachelors for a while now, but it is quite expensive and I dont know if the difference in pay will be worth the loans.

Should I just take the forensics certificate? The plan is being a sane nurse prn, and a full time psych nurse. Anyone have some thoughts for me?

Thanks in advance (:

    You don't need a BSN to be a SANE. Good luck! :-)

    Check out your Board of Nursing. Most states have their own delineation of what a forensic nurse can do.
