See What Healthcare Professionals are Saying
“The Forensic Nursing series is a wonderful adjunct to forensic nurse training no matter where you are practicing. Often you are asked to do these exams or evidence collection in your clinical or ER. The video provides great study material for people who have to do these examinations. It does not matter if you are a forensic nurse or not. Now you have this guide for your newer health care providers. thank you.”

“I can see these videos being used to train not only forensic nurses but other agencies and personnel as well as other medical professionals. I also think these would be helpful to new forensic nurses who are not sure how to start an interview or how to perform certain tasks. These sessions are short, easily understood for those who are time challenged… and found them to be very informative and helpful.”
