I Need Some Advice...

[truebluecop]

Hello...I have been in law enforcement for the past 10 years. I am a State Criminal Investigator and specialize in child sexual abuse and child fatalities.

I am currently looking for somewhat of a career change. I have been accepted into the Registered Nursing Program at a local college and will be pursing my career as a RN.

MY QUESTION: From those of you who know or may have advice...what areas could I specialize in having my background. I'd like to get my S.A.N.E. (sexual abuse nurse examiner) certification, and possibly work at a pediatric hospital.

I've also considered pediatric psychiatric nursing, to care for victims of abuse.

Any advice would be GREATLY APPRECICATED!!!!
THANKS!
Denise

Welcome! Sounds like you've nailed it down pretty good- with your background, pediatric psych would be great, as well as being a pediatric SANE nurse.
