Forensic
Nurses' Society of Canada
The
Forensic Nurses' Society of Canada (FNSC) is a uniquely Canadian
organization for forensic nurses to communicate and bridge the
distances between us. We were approved as an emerging special
interest group of the Canadian Nurses Association in July 2007. The
goal of the FNSC is to provide a network for forensic nurses,
and a forum to discuss evidence based practice in forensic areas.
Interested authors are invited to submit reviews of recent research
or articles, to share their original research or write opinion
papers on topics relevant to forensic nursing practice.
Full
membership is open to any Canadian registered nurse (RN), but
non-RNs, RN's from other countries and other forensic professionals
may join as associate members. Further membership information
and the application form are found under the tab "Membership & Discussion" above.
Although
our focus is Canadian forensic nurses we also welcome nurses
from other backgrounds and countries, including student nurses.
We also welcome other professionals as affiliate members, including
paramedics, physicians, police, social workers, scientists, and
legal professionals.
