The Forensic Nurse

Forensic Nursing has been around for many years now, but it wasn’t until 2002 when the Forensic Nursing Certification Board officially came into being. Its’ mission: “to promote the highest standards of forensic nursing practice through the development, implementation, coordination and evaluation of all aspects of the certification and recertification process”.

The Forensic Nursing Certification Board, or FBCB offers certifications of SANE-A and SANE-P. SANE-A and SANE-P are the earned credentials which recognize that the highest standards of forensic nursing for sexual assault nurse examiners has been achieved. Nurse Examiners can become certified by meeting eligibility requirements and successfully completing the SANE-A or SANE-P examination.
