This 64-hour blended learning seminar prepares the Registered Nurse with the minimum education necessary to practice as a forensic nurse examiner (FNE) in the state of Wisconsin and treat all populations: Adult, Adolescent and Pediatrics. Registered Nurses who treat victims of violent crime must receive additional and specific didactic preparation to adequately care for this population. This ensures that all patients who are reporting sexual violence or assault receive competent and trauma-informed care, taking into consideration cultural, racial, ethnic, gender identity, sexual and socioeconomic diversity.  Sessions are taught by state experts from law enforcement, advocacy, child abuse/ maltreatment and others, providing a unique opportunity to network.

As part of the Seminar, attendees must complete approximately 22 hours of self-paced learning modules and complete a post-test on those modules, prior to attending the remaining 42 hours of in-person lecture. Access to the learning modules is available upon registration and payment for the course.

We are proud to offer this course free of charge for providers/nurses who work in tribal health clinics!
