This learning opportunity bridges the gap between classroom learning and real-life clinical experiences by providing a hands-on simulated patient care scenario in a safe and supportive learning environment in a state-of-the-art clinical simulation center. Nurses will gain valuable, hands-on, real life experience in a simulated environment, in trauma-informed history taking, physical assessment, evidence collection procedures and photography.

This course is geared towards Forensic Nurses who have recently completed a 40- or 64-hour core forensic nursing course and are new to the discipline, or for established forensic nurses who need to maintain their skills.

Simulation labs will be limited to 10 participants to maintain a rich learning environment. Interested nurses will need to apply to be accepted into the course. 

Priority will be given to nurses/providers who:

   - Work in rural or tribal communities

    -Work for low-census or emerging forensic nursing programs

If space allows, nurses from larger, urban programs will be accepted into the course.

Prerequisites:  Must have completed a 40 or 64 hour Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) course by the start of the lab. 

Cost $75
