Vlog #33: Forensic Nurse Investigator?

[@pats2909]

Watching this at 1:23 am as I go thru a career crisis lol. Trying to finish all my prereqs before applying to nursing school this fall. Growing up I’ve watched Criminal Minds and NCIS and wanted to find a profession that involved law & science and help people too. Your video’s so spot on. Thanks for sharing your story!! I’m definitely following your journey! Good luck in your career! :) (and also noticed the Ph flag hanging behind you. Filipino gang ✊🏼)

[@angelogp5082]

That’s so awesome that more people are venturing into the non-traditional nursing roles! Good luck in nursing school, you’re gonna kill it!

[@LYYD.]

I left a career in Finance and recently graduated a 1 yr accelerated BSN program. Listen to your heart and know that anything is possible with determination and smart-work. 😉

Thank you for this video, I felt this on a personal level, I am currently in my second semester of nursing school and I have always wanted to bring my interests of forensics and nursing together. I kept going back and forth whether to switch to crime science or if to keep on pursuing nursing and specializing in forensics, since forensic nursing is my ultimate goal! I do not like the bed-side and Ive too always wanted to help victims and patients in a different way! I will certainly keep on watching for updates :))))

[@angelogp5082]

Aww, well I wish you the best of luck with whatever route you decide to pursue! The amazing thing with nursing is that we can help people in a variety of ways and not just the bedside! You got this, and good luck in nursing school!

[@charlinecharlostin3188]

Thank you so much for this, I have been looking into the forensic nursing career now that I have my CJ degree.

[@angelogp5082]

I wish you the best of luck!

[@annacruz9512]

I am currently enrolled MSN major in Forensic Nursing. I been a nurse for 18 years as OR nurse. Go for it. I love those shows too.

[@brosario6791]

Thank you for sharing. I am also interested in this nursing area as well.

[@J_young_824]

I'm a nurse but not an RN and I'm planning to take NCLEX-LPN. What certification or trainings should I take to be in a forensic nursing?

[@firefly7416]

cool. thank you.. part of nursing i want to specialize into, that is when i pass NCLEX and migrate. keep it up bro. hoping youll post more on this subject or experience IF permitted... stay safe always

[@angelogp5082]

Thank you! Hopefully in the future I will, but not sure as of now because of military service. But we shall see!

[@gaylegonzalez71]

I'm interested in death investigation; I'm currently working on a MedSurg floor and will finish my BSN in May. Can you tell me what I need to do to go that route (death investigator) MSN right?

[@F2906-y9h]

Did you figure it out? I was wondering too

[@gaylegonzalez71]

[@mariamhassan8413]

This field is not available in my country , i don't know how to get in , so if anyone can help ?

Can you drop the link for human trafficking cert?

[@anthonysantana4278]

Sounds like Legal Nurse Consultant

[@vonnawills]

I’m currently in school for criminal justice but I’m taking a semester off, idk if I should be a RN and take courses or keep doing CRJ.

[@amberpeffer9778]

I think my brain has been wracked just by the title forensic nurse investigator how do you go from rn to that?????

[@angelogp5082]

Typically to get into the forensic side, you'll have to get a masters specifically with a forensic specialty. As of right now, I actually am working as a Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Examiner/Investigator (SAMFE) with the military. Just gotta keep your eyes open for the right opportunity!

[@MyCivic97]

How do you become a nurse private investigator?

[@jocelynevarela07]

so happy this is a thing !!! I've always wanted to do something in the criminal justice degree but also a nurse and this is perfect

[@ashleyguzman2479]

Thank you for this video! I was also interested and obsessed with criminal minds and relevant shows. As a little kid I wanted to pursue nursing but now I am more interested in becoming a forensic scientist. But now with this career as a forensic nurse, it is really interesting. Would you think Majoring in nursing and minor in forensic science could allow me to have this career or would it be necessary to get a masters in forensic science? Btw great video!

[@cowboycalicojakk9685]

What are your experiences as a man in this specialty?

[@jeffrey9075]

Wt.. lol nice man! Tell us how you got your pi. Its like impossible!

[@angelogp5082]

I worked under a PI doing medical insurance claims part time for about 2.5 years. After that they were able to sign off all the paperwork to confirm my work and get me authorized to test!

[@sheg2291]

this or nurse informatics?

[@okabutifoundit]

awesome!

[@teresaspedaliere6114]

hey just a quick question I am currently in nursing school. And I want to get in to like forensic sciences, like more of the lab and research base things after I complete my degree but I don't really know how to accomplish that, do you have any recommendations?

[@angelogp5082]

I would definitely recommend going for your masters in forensic nursing following your bachelors. Even if you want to go strictly into the lab and research section, dipping your feet into the nursing aspect and progressively inching your way into the lab via networking would be great as it gives you the ability to explore while still getting a paycheck!

[@FatimaVitor]

Bro i wanna continue forensic in Filipina
