I love thissss thank you so much. After working as a PCT in critical care for 5 yrs now, I’m finally going to RN school and I love emergency and critical care nursing. But I also found when I got pts of violent activity I became more interested in forensic nursing. I really want to help one on one with these pts and help law enforcement get justice for these pts. Being a safe haven is my ultimate goal. I loved that you explained this !! Thank you!!! ❤
Thank you so much for what you are doing, and explaining about this career! First time learning about this option that nurses can go to. How different it is with bedside nursing, except the fact that you primarily work with patients dealing with crime/assault + working with the police? Is there not a lot of difference between the two in general? Thank you!
Thank you for your video! Very interesting. I am also a forensic nurse , but in Belgium. I only work with victims of sexual violence. The number of victims at our centre is much lower( also not a big unsafe city) I was wondering how many victims do you see each day. Do you work alone each shift?
Hi!!! Great questions, I definitely feel like violence in my city is increasing rapidly as it grows. It is hard to put an actual number on how many patients I typically see in a day but what I can say is that last year I saw roughly 80 SA patients and so far this year I am around 15-20 exams. That is just for myself and I work full time (three 12 hour shifts a week). I used to work alone most of my shifts, but because our numbers have been so high my program has been able to justify more staffing so now we are working 2 nurses at a time!

I'm so glad you are explaining it. Thanks for making this channel. I recently decided what career I wanted to do and it would be this 🤭
