About the Role

~1 min read

A Forensic Nurse (or SANE Nurse) is a registered nurse who is specially-trained to provide care for victims of sexual assault. The SANE documents the patient’s account of the assault, performs necessary medical exams and collects forensic samples that may be used in prosecution of the crime.

SANEs are trained in both the physical and emotional aspects of caring for victims of sexual assault. SANEs collaborate with advocates from the local rape crisis centers who are available to provide resources and support to victims.

The SANE becomes an integral part of the multidisciplinary team and should be knowledgeable in the nursing process, forensic sample collection, victim’s needs and legal responsibilities.
