Where the healing begins.

About a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Certificate
Those who attend the 40-hour training will receive a certificate of attendance.  Nurses must also complete the required post-didactic clinical experiences in order to receive a certificate of completion of training.  It is with the certificate of completion that nurses will be allowed to sit for the national board certification (SANE-A) offered by the International Association of Forensic Nurses and the Forensic Nursing Certification Board.

The Fort Wayne Sexual Assault Treatment Center does not offer certification as a SANE nurse.

The Fort Wayne Sexual Assault Treatment Center SANE Training Requirements include:

1. A minimum of 40 hours of didactic forensic nursing education

2. A minimum of 44 hours of clinical experiences with an additional number of female examinations

3. Sexual Assault Examination preceptorship experience

4. A passing score on a comprehensive written examination.

The education provided by this course meets, and in most areas exceeds, the minimum educational guidelines approved by the International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN) and meets the SANE course eligibility requirement for those wishing to sit for the SANE Board Certification examination. 
 

All preceptor requirements must be completed within a twelve-month time frame from completion of the original class attended.
