Welcome to the very first episode of Forensic Nurse Files! We’re three coworkers who decided to give the world a glimpse into what it’s like to be a Forensic Nurse Examiner (FNE). In this episode you’ll get a little background on us, and a short introduction into our careers. We hope to educate on the types of crimes, victims and suspects that we encounter, and to bring awareness to this growing and much needed nursing field. This podcast uses some dark humor, foul language and questionable coping skills to convey heavy information; it's not for those easily offended!
