The document discusses different types of forensic nursing specialties including sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs), legal nurse consultants, forensic psychiatric nurses, forensic nurse death investigators, and forensic correctional nurses. It provides details on the roles, training, and responsibilities of each specialty. The International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN) was founded in 1992 and represents over 74 nurses across various forensic nursing fields. While certification is currently only required for SANEs, many forensic nurses believe certification will be needed in other specialties in the future.
