Like all nurses, forensic nurses focus on patient care, but they combine this training with keen observation skills to assist police and legal professionals with criminal investigations. Forensic nurses are skilled at recognizing inconsistencies that help resolve medical issues, and they act as a bridge between healthcare and law enforcement.

Forensic nurses use their medical and criminology studies and evaluate suspicious behaviors and activities.
