What Is a Forensic Nurse Investigator?
Forensic science is the use of scientific testimony in a legal setting. As such, forensic nurses are nurses who testify in court regarding scientific fact and opinions. The early call for forensic nurse work was in cases of domestic violence. However, forensic nurses may assist in taking evidence for criminal investigations. They may testify regarding nursing practices, or they may testify about a particular case in any number of fields.
