As a Forensic Nurse, graduates will focus on meeting the needs of victims and perpetrators of crimes, applying scientific nursing knowledge to the delivery of care for survivors of traumatic injury, victims of violence, or death investigations. The nurse may specialize in such areas as domestic violence, child and elder abuse, and emergency trauma. The forensic nurse may also be involved in conducting crime scene investigations or giving courtroom testimony.  Students graduate with an advanced practice nursing (APN) degree and are eligible to take the adult nurse practitioner certification exam (AANP or ANCC) to become certified as an Adult Primary Care Nurse practitioner with a Forensics specialization.
