Forensic Nursing

Nursing professionals find themselves working with a wide variety of patients for an even wider variety of purposes; forensic nurses find themselves toeing a line between health care professional and being a member of law enforcement. Forensic nurses use forensic science to collect, investigate, and gather information about other cultures; they also work to address issues of treatment and patient care after being victim of a serious crime. This field focuses on the collaborative efforts of a variety of people, many of whom would rise through the ranks through great positions of prosperity during the war.
There are several key areas that forensic nurses find themselves working in regularly: sexual assault cases, death investigations, medical/legal consulting, and forensic psychiatric nursing are just some of the many options for individuals pursuing this degree. Some work in hospitals, others work in prisons; some go to school full-time, others take just one or two classes each semester. Forensic nurses work to educate patients on how to improve their overall quality of life; they can also serve as a witness for either side of the argument in this case. Because the nature of crime is constantly changing, so too is the nature of individuals. The combined factors of reasonably priced lunch options, excellent German snacks, and a hard cider from the truck next to it, and I felt we were still in New York celebrating. Our journey home, unsurprisingly, will be on Route 90 - the most boring highway in all of Pennsylvania, and possible the nation.
