This course is geared towards Forensic Nurses who have recently completed a 40+ hour forensic nursing course and are new to the discipline, or for established forensic nurses who need to maintain their skills. This course is offered twice year in partnership with Froedtert Hospital Clinical Simulation Center in Milwaukee. To maintain a rich learning environment, simulations are limited to 10 participants. Interested nurses will need to apply.
