FORENSIC NURSES UPDATES |
For sexual assault nurse examiners, the Association offers two certifications: the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner — Adult/Adolescent (SANE-A®) and the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner — Pediatric (SANE-P®). Certification as a SANE-A® and/or SANE-P® signifies that a sexual assault nurse examiner has demonstrated the highest standards of forensic nursing practice. To learn more about certifications, click here.
Certification is for three (3) years and expires on Dec. 31, regardless of the month in which you attained your initial certification. For those nurses whose certification expires in 2016, the association sent you a renewal notice earlier this year. If you have any questions about your renewal please contact certification@ForensicNurses.org or call 410-626-7805. Click here to learn about the specific requirements.

violent crimes that disproportionately impact women, children, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals in Illinois, yet only a small percentage of these crimes are
reported, less than one in five, and even fewer result in a

The State actively devalues a particular section of society by making their harmless consensual conduct a criminal offence. That being said, the truth is that the retention of the ‘buggery law’ in Jamaica is, for most LGBT individuals, a non-issue in their daily lives. Sex between women is not a criminal offence, and most gay men engage in same-sex sexual activity without any police officer stopping them. Symbolic as the law is, the community’s problems are not solved should it be repealed tomorrow.

The annual conference at Washington's Wardman Park Marriott spanned three days of meet, greet, and agenda-mapping for victim advocates, experts and policymakers.

Like every other employee, she would need to attend training at the company’s headquarters in Cologne, Germany. So on May 7 she arrived at the Newark, New Jersey, airport for her first-ever international flight. “I felt like the luckiest person in the world,” she told me.
