Forensic Nursing Part 2: Change Agent in Health Care

Forensic Nurses have changed the way health care meets the needs of victims and perpetrators of trauma and violence when they access the system. The changes that have occurred over the past two decades have positioned forensic nurses to be key experts in the fields of nursing, violence, trauma and crime. As the role of forensic nurses evolves, their role will continue to change health care nationally and internationally.
