Forensic Nurses Week

 

Celebrating the Nurse in Forensic Nursing

November 8-12, 2010

While many people think the solution to violence occurs in police stations, courtrooms and prisons, there is a dedicated group of nurses who understand “Violence is a Health Care Problem”.  During the week of November 8-12, 2010 the International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN) will celebrate Forensic Nurses Week. Forensic Nurses are on the front line making sure victims of rape, child abuse and domestic violence receive compassionate care, while vital forensic evidence is collected and preserved.

On Friday, November 12, 2010, IAFN says WEAR LILAC in honor of this special week!
