Whether you work in the ICU, hospice or school nursing, you hold significant expertise in your nursing brain. A nurse is more than just her clinically related knowledge. Have you ever considered how your non-nursing knowledge can feed and empower the nurse you are and make you a more effective clinician, researcher or educator?

In New York this year, pressure from state lawmakers is boosting the ranks of crime lab analysts to address a backlog of untested sexual assault evidence. And in Arizona, lawmakers have approved new reporting and testing mandates for police agencies.
But in Wisconsin, three years after the state first identified a mountain of untested evidence, lawmakers have stuck to the sidelines. No proposed boosts for crime labs. No policy legislation targeting the backlog.

The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) research is some of the most important in our field. There’s little related to forensic healthcare that isn’t impacted by the results of Dr. Felitti, Dr. Anda and their colleagues.
