Sherry Arndt is a guest instructor of Knowledge Solutions LLC . The course is designed to introduce the student to the specialty practice area of forensic nursing. It will also benefit law enforcement professionals, attorneys, members of the judiciary, criminalists, and other forensic scientists considering the benefit of collaboration with a forensic nurse. Forensic nursing is one of the latest specialty practice areas recognized by the American Nurses Association.
Forensic nursing is the application of nursing science to the administration of justice.
The SANE is the largest subspecialty of forensic nursing, closely followed by death investigation, forensic psychiatric nursing and medical-legal consulting. This course will provide the student with an overview of forensic nursing practice in a variety of settings, providing examples of practice. It will also benefit members of the criminal justice system, legal system, judiciary, corrections agencies, coroners, medical examiners and others who may want to know how collaboration with a forensic nurse can assist their own practice. Due to the nature of our online courses, course materials and the discussion forum are available 24 hours a day and can be accessed according to the student's individual schedule. Thus, the time commitment can only be an estimate on our part and will vary from student to student.
