Forensic nursing is a unique specialty that blends the worlds of nursing, science, and the legal system. It is defined as the application of the nursing process to public or legal proceedings, and the application of forensic health care in the scientific investigation of trauma and/or death related to abuse, violence, criminal activity, liability, and accidents. A forensic nurse is someone who works with crime victims to gather medical evidence and provide expert testimony that can be used in court.
