RN - Forensic Nurse Specialist

Description

As a Forensic Nurse Specialist (FNS), you will play a crucial role in delivering comprehensive medical-forensic examinations to adult and adolescent patients who have experienced interpersonal violence, including sexual assault and domestic violence. You will be dedicated to providing individualized and high-quality nursing care that meets the specific needs of each patient, guided by the nursing process and the Alaska Nurse Practice Act.

Building strong, respectful relationships with your team members will help create a patient-centered approach that is sensitive to each individual's circumstances.

At Providence Alaska Medical Center, we value our caregivers and strive to create an environment that prioritizes whole-person care built on respect and understanding. Your input is vital here, and we are committed to empowering our staff.
