Forensics?

i have been in med/surg for almost 3 yrs. while i know i won't stay as a staff nurse for my career, i can't decide on a next move. during undergrad, i was pre-med. went as far as to take the mcats. i have a strong pull toward forensics, but don't have a clear idea how i can apply nursing towards it, or even what field i can work towards other than medical examiner. and i am not planning on pursuing med school at this point.

the question i'm posing is.... does anyone have any info on getting into forensic or forensic nursing? i was recently told by a pathology resident that you can work in that field as a PA, a large hosp by me hires them in the morgue for example...

thanks for any info!
There's actually a Forensic Nursing forum on this website, under the "Specialty" tab. I'm sure they would have some good information for you

thanks for your help!

Sexual Assault Nurse Exaniners or SANE nurses work with forensics a lot and are in high demand. there are only two in my area that are shared by 6 hospitals
