Forensic nurses most commonly examine:

  • Suspects of crime
  • Victims of sexual assault
  • Victims of domestic violence
  • Victims of attempted homicide

When victims and suspects come in to the hospital, through law enforcement, ambulatory services or voluntarily arriving, the forensic nurse is immediately paged. The nurse collects every strand of evidence from the patient. The evidence is carefully and systematically labeled, packaged, sealed and sent to the crime lab for further police investigation. The evidence is then brought to the department of justice during prosecution of the case.
