ON THE FRONT LINES
A young victim of a hit and run is brought to the ER...A college student thinks she may have been raped....A homeless man is covered with chemical burns but won’t say how he got them... Across the country, in moments of crisis, nurses are often the first witnesses to acts of trauma. And when the human body itself is a crime scene, what a nurse does—from asking the right questions to preserving the key evidence—can make all the difference in the world.IN THE HEART OF THE ACTION
Now, a new kind of nurse is being deployed to the front lines. Detective, advocate, caregiver: specially trained forensic nurses play an increasingly critical role in cases of violence, negligence and mayhem—and giving justice a fighting chance.
AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME...
This book chronicles dozens of riveting cases, from the bizarre to the commonplace. Spotlighting pioneering personalities in forensic nursing today, this book shows how forensic nurses do their job, why they often become key witnesses in trials, and how these unsung heroes help police solve society’s most baffling crimes.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Interesting, but the writing leaves a little to be desired
My major is Forensic Nursing and the book gave some intresting stories in regard to patients/victims seen thru a SANE's eyes. I thought the most interesting was the law aspects. It goes deeper into expert testimony and the role a SANE may play. However, the book is written on somewhat of a high school level. It jumps around never really laying out a good outline.
Rating:  - Disjointed and poorly written
As an individual who has an intense interest in both forensics and nursing, I was very excited when I stumbled across this book. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to discover the anecdotes pieced together so randomly that the book had no logical flow. I'm honestly shocked that this text made it to press with how poorly written it is; there was clearly no editor. Overall, I would recommend looking elsewhere for information. This book is a dud.
Rating:  - "Forensic" Book Review
Oh my.....this book is badly written and poorly edited! I am a nurse, and I was looking forward to reading a book about an area in which I am interested and knowledgeable. What a disappointment! While there are a few snippets of worthwhile information, in general this book is sorely redundant, carelessly worded, and written on the level of the Cherry Ames, RN childrens' novels the author claims she is helping to re-write/re-issue. Ms. Stevens, a nurse herself, needs to stick to writing mysteries ... Read More
Rating: - A 3 hour infomercial !!!
I was drawn to this book due to my interest in forensics and criminal investigation. While I have to say that this book presents a rarely seen step in the investagation, and the role of the nurse in the investigation. The pro's of this book is greatly out weighted by the cons.
The book is orgainzed into introduction, sexual assult, child abuse, domestic violence, etc.
The Author begins by introducing forensic nursing, how forensic nurses differ from normal nurses, what ... Read More
Rating:  - Great
I really enjoyed reading the book and kept reading and reading. I think that I want to be a nurse for my second career. I am certainly going to inquire into forensic nursing. I think it is fabulous that there are so many different aspects to it and I want to tell our hospital people to use them!
