Forensic nursing is a relatively new field that combines the health care profession with the judicial system • In April 2002, the International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN) held its first international certification exam. The 71 nurses who passed the exam earned the international designation SANE-A (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner-Adult and Adolescent).

To be eligible to take the test: • Hold a current, unrestricted license as a registered nurse (RN) and have a minimum of two years full-time equivalent practice as an RN • Have completed an adult/adolescent SANE education program • Have had clinical supervision until able to demonstrate competency in SANE practice.
