Great tips. I would also add if you are bringing in a trainer from another state that you make sure the trainer is going to be familiar with and meet that state’s training standards (if there are specific ones for that state) in addition to the national training standards. In addition, the trainer should be familiar with your state laws surrounding sex crimes, the state nurse practice act, as well as case law or legal decisions regarding forensic nurse expert testimony in your state and community.

Thank you Jens… these guidelines should provide the framework for planning a rock-solid training.
An additional (and important) thing to plan for is what happens AFTER the training. Who will be responsible for monitoring the completion of practicums/observations? Who will be signing off on competencies and clinical performance evaluations? If a program is newly established, this may be a bit of a challenge. Looking forward to more conversation about this…
