As one of the top states in the country attempting to fill nursing jobs, New York has undertaken a number of steps to increase funding and educational training in the discipline. It is estimated that New York will experience a shortage of 37,000 nurses by the year 2015, with most of these available New York nursing jobs situation in the New York City area. However, the Health Care Association of New York State estimates that four out of five hospitals in the State are experiencing nursing shortages.
Forensic nurses treat the victims of violence, crimes, abuse and trauma, while also aiding detectives in the scientific investigation that helps catch perpetrators. Even if they perform little to no direct patient care, forensic nurses must keep their RN license active. Certificates in Forensic Nursing are offered by such organizations as the University of California and American Forensic Nurses (AMRN), and forensic nurses can receive further certifications from the Forensic Nursing Certification Board (FNCB) as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Adult/Adolescent (SANE-A) or Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Pediatric (SANE-P). The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts excellent, overall job growth for registered nurses.
