Without forensic nurses, men and women who have been battered, children who have been abused, elders who have been injured by caregivers or others might not have someone compassionate and aware of how not to contaminate evidence in their corner.

Forensic Nurses are professionals who deal with the victims of violent crimes. They often have to collect evidence from the victims, testify in court,  and help them emotionally during their time of shock. They tend to be the first line of defense for protecting victim's rights and shielding their emotions.

This is their week, so let's celebrate the fine work they do!
