No one is immune to the horror of sexual assault.

Break the cycle, start the healing.

Forensic nurses have the opportunity to make a difference.

What is a S.A.N.E.?

A SANE nurse responds to notification of sexual assault, usually by emergency room staff and obtains a preliminary history, conducts an in-depth interview and conducts the physical, including a pelvic exam to collect appropriate evidence. The nurse maintains a verified chain of evidence and collaborates with law enforcement officials, which may include testifying in court. The role includes victim education regarding sexually transmitted disease and pregnancy risks and provides referrals for follow-up care.

 

At the Fort Wayne Sexual Assault Treatment Center, we are committed to providing SANE educational courses that will prepare nurses to make a difference and begin the healing.  Our educational program includes:

 

Adult & Adolescent Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Courses

The purpose of this training is to provide Registered Nurses (RN) with the knowledge to become more proficient in taking care of the sexual assault patient.  This course is specifically designed to educate the RN about the adolescent and adult sexual assault patient and performing the medical forensic examination.  This Sexual Assault nurse Examiner Program (SANE)/Forensic Nurse Examiner (FNE) is a 5-day didactic training that involves a clinical component with completion.

Pediatric Medical-Forensic Sexual Assault Examiner Courses

It is estimated that at least two out of every ten girls and one out of every ten boys are sexually abused by the end of their 13th year.  You don’t have to feel powerless.  Opportunities to improve identification and management of pediatric victims through the multidisciplinary team approach are available.  Our course is dedicated to showing you the specific steps you can take to evaluate and treat the sexually abused pediatric patient.
