The Role of the Generalist Forensic Nurse and Advanced Forensic Nurse
Main Article Content
Abstract
At the beginning of the first decade of the 21st century in India, there was little awareness of forensic nursing science. The first decade of the present century saw an increase in awareness, leading to the initiation of postgraduate diploma programs in the second decade. Further increase in awareness about forensic nursing science led to the introduction of forensic nursing science in the undergraduate nursing programs throughout India in the third decade of the present century and this decade also witnessed the initiation of degree programs in forensic nursing. Now we will have future nurses who all will know forensic nursing science and we will have some nurses who will become forensic nurses by choice. India has a future where advanced forensic nurses will be available. This will change the scenario of dealing with medicolegal cases efficiently and will improve the outcome of successful prosecution of criminal cases in India and other countries that will adopt forensic nursing science.
