Certification
Currently the Forensic Nursing Certification Board (FNCB) offers two professional credentials; the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner - Adult/Adolescent (SANE-A) and the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner - Pediatric (SANE-P). SANE-A and SANE-P are the earned credentials which recognize that the highest standards of forensic nursing for sexual assault nurse examiners has been achieved. Nurse Examiners can become certified by meeting the eligibility requirements and successfully completing an examination. Certification renewal is available by examination or documented continuing education over a three-year period.
Earning certification demonstrates professional commitment. Nurses who take the extra step to become certified in their specialty demonstrate their desire to provide quality patient care. Becoming certified is a statement that the nurse has accepted the challenge of preparing for specialty nursing practice which includes a refined knowledge base and critical thinking skills in clinical practice.
